I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say,
"Happy Birthday!", and probably have a present for me. As it turned out, she didn't even say good morning, let alone any Happy Birthday.
I 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 I left for 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 that someone had remembered.
I worked until noon, then 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, 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?"
I 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 thin 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 huge birthday cake ----- followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there ----
on the couch ......naked......
