She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and
suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come collect her things .
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful
dining room table by candle-light, playing soft background music,
she feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of
spring-water.
When finished, she went into each and every room
depositing a few half-eaten, caviar dipped shrimp shells into the hollow 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 placed 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 no longer visited.
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 removal company pack everything to take to their new home....
And just to spite the ex-wife...
They took the curtain rods !!!!!!
