Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for his young Secretary.His new girlfriend demanded that she wanted to live in the couple'smultimillion dollar home, and since the man's lawyers were a little better,he prevailed. He gave his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out.She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates andsuitcases.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 diningroom table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted ona 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 fewhalf-eaten shrimp shells, dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtainrods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for thefirst few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They triedeverything; cleaning & mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checkedfor dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hungeverywhere.Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which theyhad to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace theexpensive wool carpeting.Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused towork 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 notfind a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even thelocal realtors refused to return their calls.Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase anew place.The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told her thesaga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missedher old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlementin exchange for getting the house back...Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on pricethat was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth... But only if shewere to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour, hislawyers delivered the paperwork.A week later, the man and his new girlfriend stood smirking as they watchedthe moving company pack everything to take to their new home......Including the curtain rods.I love a happy ending, don't you??? <> < <>< <>< Fill my Mouth with Worthwhile Stuff<>< <>< <>< And Nudge Me When I have said enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
