THE CURTAIN RODS

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and
suitcases.

On the second day, she had the removalists come and collect her
things.  On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their
beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft
background music, and feasted on a kilo of prawns, a jar of caviar,
and a bottle of Verdelho.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited
a few half-eaten prawn 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
and mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead
rats, 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 their estate agent 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 she
would be willing to reduce their 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 new girlfriend stood smirking as they
watched
the moving company pack everything to take to their new home...

...including the curtain rods.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU????
