    Curtain Rods...

    This came in my email the other day--I thought the forum members might get a laugh....

    -------------------------

    CURTAIN RODS - PRICELESS!

    On the first day, she sadly packed 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; she 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'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.

    She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

    On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss.

    Then, slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought into set off gas canisters, during which time the two 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 couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

    Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

    Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

    Then 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 having the house.

    Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a price that was only 1/10th of what the house had been worth... but only if she would sign the papers that very day.

    She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed 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 curtain rods!!!!

    I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

          When I was in college, I delivered pizza for a well known chain. Our district manager would motivate us by making the slowest store display this Murtle the Turtle stuffed animal with a sign that said the mystery times for our store and the district average. Tired of seeing the dang thing, I stuffed a hard boiled egg missing its shell up Myrtle's keyster and stitched him closed. After his stay in our school he rode around in the DM's car for a couple days before going on to another store.

          I don't know how bad Myrtle smelled but we never saw him again.

              I got this a decade ago, still love it.
              And some folks here feel guilty about taking out fancy the light fixture.....
              Banks should watch out for Karma. They may have to get a special bailout for the stench. Hmm... what's a good acronym for that one? Discuss

              Keep On Smilin'
