As a successful businessman was heading off to work one morning, his wife kissed him good-bye and said, "Honey, I'll bet you know what special day this is."
He replied, "I sure do!" But in reality, he hadn't a clue.
In the 45 minute drive to work, he tried to think of what the day could be. "It isn't her birthday; it's not my birthday; nor any of the kids' birthdays. It's not either of her parents' birthdays; it isn't the birthday of my Mom or Dad, and it isn't our anniversary. Hmmm..." He kept pondering the question as he started his work day.
He was a high-power executive, and had a very light schedule that day. He said to himself, "Better cover my butt." He handed his executive secretary his American Express Black Card, and gave her instructions, and a chain of events was set in motion.
At ten thirty that morning, the doorbell at his house rang. His wife answered it, and a delivery of 24 beautiful red roses in a simple yet fancy vase was made.
At one in the afternoon, more surprised than ever, she received a beautiful dress delivered from the city's most exclusive boutique, where she shopped frequently.
At four, she received a delivery from one of the best jewelry stores in town. This time, it was a perfectly fitting diamond bracelet. She could hardly wait for her husband to get home.
At six thirty, her husband walked in. Dressed in the dress, wearing the bracelet, and with the 24 roses in a prominent place on the dinner table set with his favorite foods, she hugged her husband and said with much excitement, "Honey, this is the best Groundhog Day I've ever had!"
He replied, "I sure do!" But in reality, he hadn't a clue.
