Last week was my birthday and I didnât feel very well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hope my wife would be pleasant and say, âHappy Birthday!â, and possible have a present for me.
As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone âHappy Birthday.â
I thought⦠well, thatâs marriage for you, but the kids will remember. My kids came into breakfast and didnât say a word. So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and somewhat despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary, Jane said, âGood morning, boss. Happy Birthday!â It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one oâclock and then Jane knocked on my door and said, âYou know, itâs such a beautiful day outside, and itâs your birthday, letâs go out to lunch, just you and me.â I said, âThanks Jane, thatâs the greatest thing Iâve hear all day. Letâs go!â We went to lunch. But we didnât go where we normally would go. We dined instead at a little place with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Jane said, âYou know, itâs such a beautiful day⦠We donât need to go back to the office, do we?â
I responded, âI guess not. What do you have in mind?â She said, âLetâs go to my apartment.â After arriving at her apartment Jane turned to me and said, âBoss, if you donât mind, Iâm going to step into the bedroom for a moment. Iâll be right back.â âOk.â 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, kids and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all signing âHappy Birthday.â
And I just sat there⦠On the couch⦠Naked.
