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
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad
the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10 th 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?
