Why I Fired My Secretary
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel
very well waking up that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my
wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy
Birthday!", and possibly have a 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 will remember.
My kids came in 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 Mornin g Boss,
Happy Birthday!" It felt a little better that at
least someone had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock and then Jane
knocked on my door and said,
"You know, it's such a beautiful day outside,
and it's your birthday, let's 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. 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, "You know, it's
such a beautiful day...We don't need to go back to
the office, do we?"
I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in
mind?" She said, "Let's go to my apartment."
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 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 birth-
day cake .. Followed by my wife, kids, and dozens
of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy
Birthday".
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
