The 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 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 and 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 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 new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched
the moving company pack everything to take to their new
home...
..including
the curtain rods.
I LOVE A
HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU??
