Why I Fired My Secretary

After arriving at her apartment,
Jane 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 ...

Naked.

Why I fired my Secretary.
Last week was my birthday
and I didn’t feel very well
waking up on that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast
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, that’s marriage for you,
but the kids...
They will remember.
My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast
and didn’t say a word.

So you fired her because you can't keep your pants on. She tried to do something nice by helping to plan a surprise for your birthday and you repay her with loosing her job. Sorry but I think you're a real big jerk and deserved what you got for making assumptions.

It feels good to write.
