Spaghetti 
 
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 discreet, 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.
