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...
