CURTAIN RODS





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?
