Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday and I wasn't
feeling too good that morning. I went to breakfast
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 any happy birthday. I thought, well,
that's wives for you, 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 and despondent.
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, "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; instead we went
out 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 six minutes,
she came out carrying a huge birthday cake -----
followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our
friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there
--on the couch
