The curtain Rods

[Jayne]

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 the curtain rods!!!!!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T   YOU?  

Hope you had a grin at this
