For several years, a married man was having an affair with an
Italian girl. 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. 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,
turned white and fainted.
On the card was written:
“Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti,Spaghetti.
Three with meatballs, two without.”
“SEND EXTRA SAUCE.”
