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 would pay 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.
His wife said, "Honey, you received a very strange post card today."
"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it," he said. The wife handed him
the card and watched as her husband read the card, turned white and
collapsed.
On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with
meatballs, one without! Request bread..."
Cheers, Vince
