Why I Fired My Secretary

Last week was my 40th birthday and I really didn’t want to wake up that morning.

I managed to pull myself together and go down the stairs for breakfast, hoping that my wife would be pleasant and say “Happy Birthday!”, and possibly have a small present for me.

In fact, she barely said good morning, not to mention “Happy Birthday.” I thought… well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids. They will remember.

My kids stepped on the stairs for breakfast, ate their breakfast, and didn’t say a word to me. When I made it out of the house and started for work, I felt pretty dumpy and despondent.

When I entered my office, my secretary Joanne said: “Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday!”

It felt a bit better knowing that at least someone remembered.

I worked as a zombie until about one o’clock, when Joanne knocked on my door and said, “You know, it’s such a beautiful day outside, and it’s your birthday, why don’t we go out for lunch? just you and me. ”

I said, “Thank you, Joanne, that’s the best thing I’ve heard all day. Let’s go!”

We went to lunch but not where we would normally go. Instead, she took me to a quiet bistro with a private table. We had a couple of mixed drinks and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office, Joanne said, “You know, it’s such a beautiful day… We don’t have to go right back to the office, do we?”

I said, “I suppose not. What do you have in mind?” She said, “Let’s go to my apartment, it’s just around the corner.”

After arriving at her apartment, Joanne turned to me and said, “Boss if you don’t mind, I’m going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I’ll be right back.”

“Ok.” 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… without clothes.

This joke has been circulating for years and still makes me laugh! 

Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
