For
several years a wealthy man had an affair with an Italian woman
One night, during one of their rendezvous, 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
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 child support
payments to begin. One day, about 8 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," 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. Two with
meatballs, one without.".
