On the second day, the movers came and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down at their beautiful dining room table in the house for the last time  and, by candle-light, put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimps, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

After she had finished, she went into each and every room in the house and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar in side the hollow 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 had the expensive wool carpeting replaced. 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 were unable to find a buyer for their stinky house.

Word got out and eventually even the local estate agents refused to return their calls.

Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank and 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.........      And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!!!!!!
