Curtain Rods

[Jamesyboi]

There's nothing like a woman scorned.

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 candlelight,

put on some soft background music, and feasted on a

pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of

Chardonnay.

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 and

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 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 new girlfriend stood

smirking as they watched the moving company pack everything to

take to their new home......including the curtain rods.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU????
