Why I Fired My Secretary

OUR GOOD FRIENDS Kevin and Lynn just had their second child. Instead of sending us a photo, Kevin sent this email that was forwarded to him. It's worth a read. The subject of the email was, 'Why I fired my secretary':

Yesterday 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 when I left for the office I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office my secretary Jane said, 'Good Morning Boss ,and by the way, Happy Birthday ! It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock when Jane knocked on my door and said, 'You know, it's such a beautiful day outside and it is your birthday, what do you say we 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 !'

We went to lunch but we didn't go where we normally would go. Instead, she suggested at a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office Jane said, 'You know,It's such a beautiful day....We don't need to go straight back to the office do We ?'

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

'Let's drop by my apartment,it's just around the corner,' was her reply.

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.

Did you see that coming? (We still want photos!)
