Why I fired my secretary



Two weeks ago, was my forty-fifth birthday

I wasn't feeling too hot That morning anyway

I went into breakfast, knowing my wife would be pleasant and say Happy Birthday and probably have a present for me.

She didn't even say Good Morning, let alone any 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, my secretary, Janet said

"Good Morning Boss, Happy Birthday."

And I felt a little better; someone had remembered, I worked until noon

About noon Janet knocked on my 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."

I 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 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 need to go back to the office, Do we?"

I said, "No, I guess not."

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

After arriving at her apartment, we had 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."

"Sure," I excitedly replied

She went into the bedroom and in about six minutes she came out...

carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife and children

All were singing Happy Birthday...

and there on the couch I sat...
