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
m eatballs, two without.
Send extra sauce."
