For several years, a married 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 watched as her husband read the card, turn ed white and
fainted.
On the card was written:
'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.
Three with meatballs, two without.'
'SEND EXTRA SAUCE'.
