Curtain Rods
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?
