After
15 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife
for
a younger woman. The downtown luxury
apartment
was
in his name and he wanted to remain there with
his
new love so he asked the wife to move out and
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 and 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
candlelit
Dining table, soft music playing in the
background,
and feasted on a pound of shrimp and a
bottle of chardonnay.
When
she had finished, she went into each room and
deposited
a few of the resulting shrimp shells into the
hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned
up the
kitchen
and left.
The
husband came back, with his new girl, and 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 and 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, and on it went.
Finally,
they could take it no more and decided to move.
The
Moving company arrived and did a very professional
packing
job, taking everything to their new home,
including
the curtain rods.
