Quote:
Last week was my birthday
and I didn't feel very well
waking up on that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast
hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,
'Happy Birthday!',
and possibly have a small present for me.
As it turned out,�
she barely said good morning,�
let alone�
' Happy Birthday.'
I thought...�
Well,�
that's marriage for you,�
but the kids....�
They will remember.
My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast�
and didn't say a word.�
So when I left for the office,�
I felt pretty low�
and somewhat despondent.
As I walked into my office,�
my secretary Jane said,�
'Good Morning Boss,
and by the way�
Happy Birthday ! '�
It felt a little better�
that at least someone had remembered.�
I worked until one o'clock ,
when Jane knocked on my door�
and said, 'You know,�
It's such a beautiful day outside,�
and it is your Birthday,�
what do you say we go out to lunch,�
just you and me.'�
I said, 'Thanks, Jane,�
that's the greatest thing�
I've heard all day.�
Let's go !'
We went to lunch.�
But we didn't go�
where we normally would go.�
She chose instead a quiet bistro
with a private table.�
We had two martinis each�
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.�
On the way back to the office,�
Jane said, 'You know,�
It's such a beautiful day...
We don't need to go straight back to the office,�
Do We ?'
I responded,�
'I guess not.�
What do you have in mind ?'�
She said,�
'Let's drop by my apartment,
it's just around the corner.'�
After arriving at her apartment,�
Jane turned to me and said,�
' Boss, if you don't mind,�
I'm going to step into the bedroom�
for just a moment.�
I'll be right back.' 'Ok.' I nervously replied.�
She went into the bedroom and,�
after a couple of minutes,�
she came out�
carrying a huge birthday cake ...�
Followed�
by my wife,�
my kids,�
and dozens of my friends�
and co-workers,�
all singing 'Happy Birthday'.�
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
Naked.
