The sound of joyous laughter lifts me up.

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 &nbs p;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.
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  h ouse.

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?
