Two weeks ago was my 35th birthday and I wasn't feeling too
hot that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be
pleasant and say "Happy Birthday" and probably have a present for me.
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. When
I started to 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; 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; we went out to the country to a little private 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 change."
"Sure," I excitedly replied.
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And there I sat... on the couch... naked.
