CURTAIN RODS

PRICELESS

On

the first day, she sadly packed 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;

she 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'd finished, she went into each and every room and

deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into

the hollow centre of the curtain rods.

She then

cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth

day, the husband came back with his

new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss.

Then,

slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried

everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the

place.

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 time

the

two 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 couldn't take the stench

any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month

later - even though they'd cut their price in half -

they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky

house.

Word got out, and eventually even the

local realtors refused to return their

calls.

Finally, unable to wait any longer for a

purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from

the bank to purchase a new place.

Then 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 having the house.

Knowing she could have

no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a

price that was only 1/10 th of what the house had been

worth ... but only if she would sign the papers that

very day.

She agreed, and within

two hours his lawyers delivered the completed

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?
