The boss was busy and did not want to be disturbed.

He told his secretary to tell visitors he didn't want to be disturbed. If they persisted with some story about how important it was, she should tell them "That's what they all say."

Later that day, the boss' wife stopped by to visit her husband. The secretary told her that he didn't want to be disturbed. The wife said, "That doesn't apply to me, I'm his wife." So obediently, the secretary said, "Yeah, that's what they all say."

The next day, the secretary was looking for a new job, unsure of how it swirled down the drain so fast.

My first thought was that she was fired because she made the wife think he always had women coming into his office,

Then, I thought, no, it was simply because she showed a lack of judgement in not knowing that his wife WAS an exception.

Then I thought, nah, my first idea was right.

Now I don't know which it is, LOL!

I can't be entirely sure since I just write the jokes, not interpret them, but I think your first and third thoughts are correct.
