CURTAIN RODS----PRICELESS
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 slowly, the house began to smell.
They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing
the place out.
Vents we rechecked 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.
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? ;-)
