Just got this from a Friend

WHY I FIRED MY SECRETARY !


Two weeks ago was my 44th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that morning.

I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be plesant 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 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." "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.
