last week was my birthday and i didnt't feel very well waking up on that morning. i went downstairs for breakfast and hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "happy birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me. as it turned out, she barely said good morning,let alone happy birthday.
i thought well thats marriage for you, but the kids..... they will remember.
my kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. so when i left for the office, i felt pretty low and somewhat dissapointed.
as i walked into my office, my secrtary jane said, "good morning boss, and by the way happy birthday!"
it felt a little better that atleast someone had remembered. i worked until 1 o'clock when jane knocked on my door and said "you know, its such a beautifull day outside and it is your birthday what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me".
i said, "thanks jane, that's the greatest thing i have heard all day. lets go"
we went to lunch. but we didnt go where we normally go, she chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table.
we had two martinis each and i enjoyed the meal greatly.
on the way back to the office, jane said, "you know, it's such a beautifull day... we dont need to go straight back to the office, do we?"
i responded, "guess not, what do you have in mind?"
she said "lets drop by my apartment, its just around the corner"
after arriving at her apartment, jane turned to me and said, "boss, if you dont mind, i am going to slip ino the bedroom for just a moment, i'll be right back."
"okay," 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, my kids and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "happy birthday!"
and i just sat there.....
on the couch.....
sobbing.....
Naked.....
and erect.
