Curtain Rods - Priceless
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates &
suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come & 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 & feasted on a
pound of shrimp,a jar of caviar & 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 & airing the place out.
Vents were checked for dead rodents & 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. 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 & 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 & 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 & asked how things were going.
He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely & said
that she missed her old home terribly & 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 & within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.
A week later, the man & his girlfriend stood smiling as the 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 JUST LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
