For several years, a married man was having
an affair with an Italian woman. One night, she confided in him
that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation, or his
marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to
Italy to secretly have the child.
If she stayed in Italy to raise the child,
he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply
mail him a postcard, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He
would then arrange for the child support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home
to his confused wife. 'Honey,' she said, 'You received a very
strange post card today.'
'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it
later,' he said. The wife obeyed and watched as her husband
read the card, turned white, and fainted.
On the card was written:
'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.
Three with meatballs, two without.
Send extra sauce.
