After many years of marriage a man divorced his wife so he could have a younger woman.
He wanted to stay in his house so he asked his wife to move out and in exchange he would buy her a new place.
The wife agreed on the condition that she be given 3 days alone to pack up all of her things.
While he was gone she lovingly and carefully packed all of her belongings away on the first day. The second day she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day she feasted on two pounds of shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay.
When she was done she took the pile of shrimp shells and inserted a few into the hollow of each of the curtain rods. Then she cleaned up the kitchen and left.
The husband came back with his new woman and everything was bliss for the first few days. However, slowly but surely the house began to smell really bad.
They tried everything. First the man and his girlfriend cleaned and mopped the entire house from top to bottom. They aired out all the rooms and had the vents checked for dead animals. The carpets were steam cleaned, air fresheners were installed, exterminators were hired, the carpets were replaced, and so on.
Finally the couple could take it no more and decided that their only option was to move. The moving company arrived and did a very good job packing their belongings up and taking it to their new home...
...including the curtain rods.
