SPAGHETTI

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 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 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."
