THE MORAL OF THE STORY.........

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's 
multi-million 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 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 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 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 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 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 new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched 
the moving company pack everything to take to their new home...

INCLUDING THE CURTAIN RODS.
