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 candlelight,
Put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of
shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of
Chardonnay.
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and
stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells
dipped in caviar, into the hollow of all 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 were checked for dead rodents,
And carpets were steam cleaned.
Air freshener 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 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,
Including ... the curtain rods.
I JUST LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU ????
