How I got Divorced

LAST WEEK 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.
