For 2 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."
