The curtain rods

Minu and Ashok always quarrelled. They decided to split. Ashok went to live with his friend, Tina.  He called Minu to leave the house. She had a hearty meal of prawns and sherry. She pushed the prawn shells in the curtain rods and left. Ashok and Tina moved in. The house smelt rot. Every corner was  cleaned but nothing was found. The smell became unbearable. They decided to sell it, but there were no buyers. Minu approached them and bought it at half  rate.  They left lock,stock and barrel, including the curtain rods.  Minu had the last laugh.
