CURTAIN RODS ---
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and
suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her
things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their
beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background
music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle
of spring-water.
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited
a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the
curtain rods.
She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned
with
his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days.
Then s lowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything;
cleaning, mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead
rodents and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung
everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters,
during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they
even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.
People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the
house. The maid quit.
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could
not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually
even the local realtors refused to return their calls.
Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to
purchase
a new place.
The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her
the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she
missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce
settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife
had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about
1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign
the papers that very day. She agreed and within the hour his lawyers
delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood
smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to
their new home.........
And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!!!!!!
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
