Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that
morning. I went down 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 Happy
birthday. I thought, well, that's wives for you, the children will remember.
The children didn't remember so 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 and
slip into something more comfortable"
"Sure!" I excitedly replied. She went into the bedroom and, in about six
minutes, she came 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.
