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 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?
