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 offered to pay 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 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, please just give it to me and I'll explain it later, he said.
His wife handed him the card and
watched as her husband turned white as a sheet
and fainted.On the card was written: 'Spaghetti,
Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti,
Spaghetti. Three with meatballs, two
without. Send extra sauce.'
