Max sat at the bar¹ totally² dejected（沮丧的） . The bartender（酒保） served him his second drink and said, "What's wrong pal³?"

"I'll never understand women." Max said. "The other night my wife threw me a birthday party. She told me that later on, as her gift to me, I could do with her whatever I wanted."

"Wow!" said the bartender. "But why so unhappy? That sounds like quite a gift to me."

"Well," Max went on, "I thought about it and sent her home to her Mother. Now she won't even speak to me."
