Curtain Rods

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 curtain rods!!!!!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON’T  YOU? 🙂
