curtain poles

He spent the first day packing his belongings into boxes, crates and
suitcases.

On the second day, he had the movers come and collect his things.

On the third day, he sat down for the last time at their beautiful
dining room table by candle-light, put on some rock music, and feasted on a
pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.


When he had finished, he went into each and every room and deposited a
few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the
curtain rods. He then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the wife returned with her new boyfriend, 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.

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-husband called the man and asked how things were going.

He told him the saga of the rotting house. He listened politely and
said that he missed his old home terribly and would be willing to reduce
his divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing her ex-husband had no idea how bad the smell was, she agreed on
a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but
only if he were to sign the papers that very day.

He agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the wife and her boyfriend stood smiling as they watched
the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.........

And to spite the ex-, they even took the curtain rods!!!!!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
