A Funny Story
Guys- a great story entitled "Why I Fired my Secretary":
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 in my new Challenger. I said, Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.
Let's go, I can't wait to ride in that car!
We drove to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.
She chose instead at 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, she even let me drive the car!! After a few minutes, 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 drive over to my house- it's just around the corner.
After parking her Challenger in the garage and entering her house, 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.
