Following 37 years of marriage. Jake left his wife for his young secretary. His new girlfriend requested that they reside in Jake and Edith’s multimillion-dollar home, and because the man’s lawyers were a little better, he won. He gave Edith, his now ex-wife, three days to move out. She spent the first day organizing her possessions into boxes, crates, and suitcases.

On the second day, she had movers come to retrieve her belongings. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their lovely dining room table by candlelight, turned on some gentle background music, and ate a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she was finished, she walked into each room and tucked half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollows of all the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and departed.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, everything was perfect for a few days. The house eventually began to smell. They tried everything: cleaning, mopping, and airing out the space. The vents were checked for deceased rodents, and the carpets were cleaned. Air fresheners are placed everywhere.
Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, forcing them to leave for a few days and eventually replace the pricey wool carpeting.

Nothing worked. People stopped coming over for visits. The repairman declined to work inside the residence. The Maid quit. They couldn’t take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later, after having lowered their price in half, they were unable to locate a buyer for their stinking abode. Word spread, and ultimately even local realtors refused to return phone calls. Finally, they had to borrow a large quantity of money from the bank to buy a new home.

The ex-wife called the man to see how things were going. He told her the story of the crumbling house. She listened respectfully and stated that she longed for her old home and would be willing to lessen her divorce settlement in exchange for regaining possession of it. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how awful the smell was, he agreed to a price that was roughly one-tenth of the house’s value, but only if she signed the paperwork that day.

She consented, and within an hour, his lawyers had handed the paperwork. A week later, the man and his girlfriend stood delighted, watching the moving company load everything for their new home. INCLUDING CURTAIN RODS. “I’m sorry!” “stop Saying Sorry!” “Okay Sorry.”
