Fw: Mans expectations always seems to let him down
Seven weeks ago was my 60th 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 wives for you, the children will
remember...The children 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 Janet said, "Good morning,
Boss, Happy Birthday". And I felt a little better that 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; 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. "Sure!" I excitedly replied.
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out
carrying a huge birthday cake ----- followed by my wife, children, and
dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday.
And I just sat there...
on the couch...
naked.
