Joke: Why My Wife Left Me


My name is Victor and this is how my wife left me.

Last week was my birthday.

My wife didn’t wish me a happy birthday.

My parents forgot too and so did my kids.
I went to work and even my colleagues didn’t wish me a happy birthday.

As I entered my office, my secretary said, “Happy birthday, Boss!”

I felt so special. She asked me out for lunch. After lunch, she invited me to her apartment.

We went there and she said, “Do you mind if I go into the bedroom for a minute?”

“Okay,” I said.

She came out 3 minutes later with a birthday cake, my wife, my parents, my kids, my friends, all my colleagues at work, all yelling, “SURPRISE!!!”

I was on the sofa…COMPLETELY naked.
