Why I fired my secretary

Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday, and I wasn't feeling too hot .....that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say Happy Birthday, and probably have a present for me. She didn't even say ... Good Morning, let alone any Happy Birthday. I thought, Well, that's wives for you, the children will remember. The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. Then I started to 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 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; we went out to the country to a little private 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 out carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday. And there I sat...on the couch..."naked".
