Revenge is sweet
After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger woman.
The downtown luxury apartment was in his name & he wanted to remain there with his new love so he asked the wife to move out & then he would buy her another place.
The wife agreed to this, but asked that she be given 3 days on her own there, to pack up her things.
While he was gone, the first day she lovingly put her personal belongings into boxes & crates & suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come & collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their candlelit Dining table, soft music playing in the background, & feasted on a pound of shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay.
When she had finished, she went into each room & deposited a few of the resulting shrimp shells into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen & left.
The husband came back, with his new girl, & all was bliss for the first few days. Then it started, slowly but surely. Clueless, the man could not explain why the place smelled so bad.
They tried everything; cleaned, mopped, & aired the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, carpets were steam cleaned, Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in; the carpets were replaced, & on it went.
Finally, they could take it no more & decided to move. The Moving Company arrived & did a very professional packing job, taking everything to their new home...
...including the curtain rods.
