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 so me 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.
>>
>> 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?
