An  Ex-Wife's Revenge

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 deposited a
few half-eaten shrimp 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 steamed. 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 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 t he 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 packs  everything to take to their new home....





.......including  the curtain rods.
