Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very
Well waking up that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife
Would be pleasant and say, "happy birthday!", and
Possibly have a 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 will remember.
My kids came into breakfast and didn't say a word.

So when I left for the office, I was feeling
pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary, Jane
said, "good morning boss, happy birthday!" it felt a
little better that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock and then Jane knocked
on my door and said,
"you know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and
it's your birthday, let's 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.
We dined instead at a little place 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 back to the office, do we?"

I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in
mind?"

She said, "let's go to my apartment."

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 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, kids, and dozens of my
Friends and co-workers, all singing
"happy birthday".

And I just sat there...

On the couch...
