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 stuffed
half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of all 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, and 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 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 pack everything to take to their new home...
