>>> 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 center 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
curtain rods!
>>>
>>> I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
