Post Priceless.......!

PRICELESS


On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, 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 beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light;
she put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a
bottle of springwater.


When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp
dipped in caviar into the hollow centre of the curtain rods.


She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.


On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend 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 into 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-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 having the house.


Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a price that was only 1/10 th of what the house had been worth ... but only if she would sign the papers that very day.


She agreed and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed 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!!!!

Isn't revenge sweet. When I found out after my ex moved out he had a girlfriend I went up to our cell phone account and changed his profile name to cheatinghusband. Now he has no way to access the account even if he knew how, has no money to afford a phone in his own name, and knows better than to say anything to me or I'll cut his phone off and no one including people who need him to work on their cars can call him. So every time he calls someone, the words cheatinghusband displays on their phones; including the skank he lives with. Yep, revenge is sweet.

I have seen this before. I have not forgotten it. I think that would be perfect for such a skunk.
