Two weeks ago was my 33rd birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that morning.
I went 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 any happy birthday. I thought, well, that's a wife for you, my daughter will remember.
The kid 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 Cari said, "Good morning, Boss, Happy Birthday!"
And I felt a little better that someone had remembered.
I worked until noon, then Cari 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, "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. "
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake --- followed by my wife, daughter, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there --- on the couch --- naked
