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 obclock, 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 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...
