Why I fired my secretary

Two weeks ago was my  birthday,
and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway.

I went down to 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 thought, "Well, that's wives for you.
The children will remember."

The children came down to 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.
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,
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 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, children, and dozens of our friends.

They were all were singing Happy Birthday...

And there I sat on the couch.......
