After 17 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 shrimp and 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 tomove. The Moving company arrived and did a very professional packing job, taking everything to theirnew home. Including, of course.... the curtain
rods!
