Mind It!

Two weeks ago was my forty-fifth 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 would 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. Maybe 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.”

So 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 best thing I’ve heard all day. Let’s go.”

We went to lunch. We didn’t go where we normally go. We went out into 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 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 big birthday cake, Followed by my wife, children and dozens of our friends.

All were singing “Happy Birthday”

And there on the couch I sat…

Naked.
