Joke of the week - Why I fired my secretary
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that
morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant
and say, 'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me. As
it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone ' Happy Birthday.' I
thought... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids... They will
remember. My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a
word.So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat
despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, 'Good Morning Boss,
and by the way Happy Birthday!' It felt a little better that at least
someone had remembered. I worked until one o'clock , when Jane knocked on
my door and said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day outside,and it is
your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.' I
said, 'Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's
go !'
We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose
instead at a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Jane
said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go straight
back to the office, Do We ?'
I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind ?'
She said, 'Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner.'
After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, ' Boss, if
you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment.I'll
be right back.'
'Ok.' I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple
of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake ...Followed by my
wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing 'Happy
Birthday'.
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
Naked.
