Spaghetti

A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for a few 

years.

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 Italy to have the child. If she 

stayed in Italy, he would also provide child support until the child 

turned 18.

She agreed, but wondered how he would know when the baby 

was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to mail him a post card, 

and write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for 

child support.

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. Two with 

meatballs, one without."
