A wealthy man was
having an affair with an Italian woman for several
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 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 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," 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.
