CURTAIN
RODS ---- PRICELESS
!!
She spent the first day packing her belongings
into
boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day,
and
collect her things.
On the third day,
she sat
down for the last time at
'their'
beautiful dining room table
put on
some soft background music,
and
feasted on a pound of shrimp,
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
all was
bliss for the first few days.
the house
began to smell.
They tried everything;
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
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.
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.
and said
that she missed her old home
terribly
and would be willing to reduce
in
exchange for getting the house.
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea
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,
