Masked Halloween Party

Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, were invited to a swanky (时髦的，豪华的）masked Halloween Party. His wife got a terrible headache and told Al to go to the party alone. Al, being a devoted husband, protested, but his wife argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need of his good time being spoiled by not going. So Al took his costume and away he went.

His wife, after sleeping soundly for one hour, awakened without pain, and as it was still early, she decided to go to the party. Since Al did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching Al to see how he acted when she was not with him.

She joined the party and soon spotted Al cavorting （欢跃，跳跃）around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice chick he could, and copping （抓，捉）a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife sidled （横着走，悄悄贴近）up to him, and being a rather seductive babe herself, Al left his partner high and dry （出水，孤立无援）and devoted his time to the new stuff that had just arrived.

She let Al go as far as he wished; naturally, since he was her husband. Finally Al whispered a little proposition （建议）in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had a little bang（强烈的刺激，sex).

Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation Al would make for
his behavior.

She was sitting up reading when Al came in and asked what kind of a time he had. Al said, "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."

Then she asked, "Did you dance much?"

Al replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance.
When I got there, I met Larry Flint, Janet Reno, and some other guys, so we went into the den (舒适的)私室(作学习或办公用))and played poker all evening. But I'll tell you... I loaned my costume to Bill and he told me he had a great time!"
