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, and Spaghetti. Three with
meatballs, two without.
Send extra sauce."
