This might happen to you
Two weeks ago was my 35th birthday. I sat down
for breakfast with my family, 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 happy birthday. I thought,
well, that's just great, maybe 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.
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, "That's the greatest thing
I've heard all day. Let's go!"
We went 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 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 five
minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake followed by my wife, my
children and a dozen of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there.
On the couch.
Naked.
