Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up that

> morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be

> pleasant and say "Happy Birthday", and possibly have a 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 will remember.

> My kids came down for breakfast and didn't say a word.

>

> So, when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and somewhat

> despondent.

>

> As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good morning, Boss,

> Happy Birthday". It felt a little better that at least someone had

> remembered.

>

> I worked until one o'clock and then Jane knocked on my door and said,

> "You know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday,

> let's go out to lunch, just you and me".

>

> I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.

> Let's go".

> On the way back to the office Jane said, "You know, it's such a

>

> I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?"

>

> She said, "Let's go to my apartment".

> "OK", I nervously replied.
