I heard a version of this story as a song by Benny Hill once....
Why I fired my secretary...
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 happy
birthday. I thought, well, that's wives for you, the children will
remember.
The children didn't remember so 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?" "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 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.........
