After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger
woman. He wanted to continue living in their downtown luxury apartment
with his new lover so he asked his wife to move out and get another
place.
His
wife agreed to this, provided that he would give her 3 days alone
at the apartment to pack up her things. She spent the first day
packing 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
table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, 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 half-eaten shrimp
shells into the hollow of the 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 apartment began to smell. They
tried everything; cleaning & mopping and airing the place out.
Vents were checked for dead rodents, 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 paid to replace
the expensive carpet.
Finally,
they could not take it any longer and decided to move. They could
not find a buyer for their stinky apartment so they had to borrow
a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The moving
company arrived and did a very professional packing job, taking
everything to their new home . . .
