Remember this is not one of my jokes... and unfortunately I don't have a reference
to who it has been written by.
Why I fired my secretary
Two weeks ago, was my forty-fifth birthday, and 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.
