CURTAIN RODS----PRICELESS

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
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was,

he agreed on a price that was about 1/10 th 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?

Thanks Ivan
