CURTAIN RODS----
The soon-to-be divorced wife 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!!!!!!
