Why He Fired His Secretary...

Two weeks ago was his 45th birthday and he wasn't feeling too good that morning. He went to breakfast knowing his wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and probably have a present for him.

As it turned out, she didn't even say good morning, let alone any happy birthday. He thought, "Well, that's wives for you, the children will remember..."

The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when he left for the office, he was feeling pretty low and despondent...

As he walked into my office, his secretary Janet said, "Good morning,Boss. Happy Birthday." And he felt a little better that someone had remembered. He worked until noon, then Janet knocked on his door and said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me."

He said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!" We went to lunch.

We didn't go where we normally go; instead we went out to a private little place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously. On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"

He said, "No, I guess not."

She said, "Let's go to my apartment."

After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable"

"Sure!" he excitedly replied.

She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake... followed by his wife, children, and dozens of their friends, all singing Happy Birthday.

While he just sat there...

...on the couch...

...naked.
