>>>
>>>>> CURTAIN RODS---- PRICELESS
>>>>> 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 en d 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!!!!!!
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
