For several years, a 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 post card and write
'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for child support
payments to begin. One day, about 7 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.
