Spaghetti

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 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."
