For several years, a man in New York City had been having an affair
with an Italian woman.
One night, she confided to 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 back to Italy to secretly have the child..
Also, if she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would 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 when the child was born.
He would then arrange for the 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 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
