Spaghetti

For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.

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.

"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."
