One man explaining to another why he fired his secretary.
"Two weeks ago," he said, "was my forty fifth birthday and I
wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went into
breakfast knowing that my wife would be pleasant and say
"Happy Birthday" and probably have a present for me. She
didn't even say "good morning" let along "Happy Birthday".
I said "well that's wives for you", the children will
remember. The children came into breakfast and didn't say a
word. When I started to the office, I was feeling pretty low
and despondent.
As I walked into my office, Janet said "Good morning boss -
Happy Birthday". I felt a little better, someone had
remembered.
I worked until noon. About noon she knocked on my door and
said "You know it's such a beautiful day outside and it is
your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and I." I said
"by George that is the greatest thing I have heard all day,
lets go".
We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go. We
went out into the country to a little private 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 have to go back to the office, do we?"
I said "no, I guess not."
She said "let's go to my apartment." We enjoyed another
martini and smoked a cigarette, and she said "boss, if you
don't mind, I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into
something more comfortable."
I assured her I didn't mind at all.
She went into the bedroom and in about five minutes she came
out carrying a big birthday cake followed by my wife and
children. All were singing "Happy Birthday" and there I sat
with nothing on but my socks!
