Curtain Rods? Humor when we need it....

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 candlelight, put on some soft

background music, and feasted on

a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of chardonnay.

 

When she had finished, she went into each and every

room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the

hollow of all 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, carpets were steam cleaned, and

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 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, including the

curtain rods.

 

I just love a happy ending, don't you?

When I was getting close to the end of my divorce, my boss, in his 70's, passed this along to me. And believe me, I thought seriously about it!

 

My thought, though, was to mix up tuna and mayonnaise...good and sticky...and spread it under the bottoms of the window sills in the bedroom...*hehehehe*....knowing he was going to move the wench into my house after I moved out...knowing the bedroom would have an unbelievable stench...and knowing neither of them would be smart enough to look UNDER anything or clean under anything.

 

Didn't do it, though....damn....missed a golden opportunity!
