But funny nonetheless. I've seen a variant of this before.

Off Topic): A little humor..

I'm not a big one for posting a lot of jokes on the internet (or passing them by email). But this one on another forum caught my eye (and laugh): Other people have posted that it is suposedly a true story... (and now if I can get it to space right on this forum.


The Curtain Rods:
.
.
.
.

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 and 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.
.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU??
