Revenge is Sweet

Revenge is sweet........

On the first day, he sadly packed his belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, he had the movers come and collect his things.

On the third day, he sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table,

by candle-light; he put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp,

a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When he'd finished, he went into each and every room and deposited a few

half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.

He then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the wife came back with her new boyfriend, 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 in to 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 called the woman and asked how things were going. She told him

the saga of the rotting house. He listened politely and said that he missed his old

home terribly and would be willing to reduce his divorce settlement in exchange

for having the house.

Knowing he could have no idea how bad the smell really was, she agreed on a

price that was only 1/10th of what the house had been worth ... but only if he would

sign the papers that very day.

He agreed, and within two hours her lawyers delivered the completed

paperwork.

A week later the woman and her boyfriend stood smiling as they watched the

moving company pack everything to take to their new home ......

AND...

to spite the ex-husband, they even took the curtain rods!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
