Two weeks ago was my 54th 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 into the country 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 ... naked.
