<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>He gave his now
ex-wife just 3 days to move out.<BR><BR>She spent the first day packing her
belongings into boxes, crates and<BR>suitcases.<BR><BR>On the second day, she
had movers come and collect her things.<BR><BR>On the third day, she sat down
for the last time at their beautiful<BR>dining-room table by candlelight, put on
some soft background music, and<BR>feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of
caviar, and a bottle of<BR>Chardonnay.<BR><BR>When she had finished, she went
into each and every room and deposited a<BR>few half-eaten shrimp shells, dipped
in caviar, into the hollow of the<BR>curtain rods. She then cleaned up the
kitchen and left.<BR><BR>When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all
was bliss for the<BR>first few days. Then slowly, the house began to
smell. They tried<BR>everything; cleaning & mopping and airing the
place out. Vents were<BR>checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam
cleaned. Air<BR>fresheners were hung everywhere.<BR><BR>Exterminators were
brought in to set off gas canisters, during which<BR>they had to move out for a
few days, and in the end they even paid to<BR>replace the expensive wool
carpeting.<BR><BR>Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to
visit...repairmen refused<BR>to work in the house...the maid quit...finally,
they could not take the<BR>stench any longer and decided to move.<BR><BR>A month
later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could<BR>not find a
buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually,<BR>even the
local realtors refused to return their calls.<BR><BR>Finally, they had to borrow
a huge sum of money from the bank to<BR>purchase a new place.<BR><BR>The ex-wife
called the man, and asked how things were going. He told<BR>her the saga
of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that<BR>she missed
her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her<BR>divorce settlement
in exchange for getting the house back...<BR><BR>Knowing his ex-wife had no idea
how bad the small was, he agreed on a<BR>price that was about 1/10th of what the
house had been worth...but only<BR>if she were to sign the papers that very
day. She agreed, and within<BR>the hour, his lawyers delivered the
paperwork.<BR><BR>A week later, the man and h is new girlfriend stood smirking
as they<BR>watched the moving company pack everything to take to their
new<BR>home...including the curtain rods.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
