A man has an affair with an Italian woman and she becomes pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his marriage, he pays her to return to Italy to give birth. If she agrees to raise the baby in Italy too, he’ll provide money until the child is 18. She agrees, but asks how he’ll know when the baby is born. He tells her to send him a postcard with spaghetti written on the back. Then he’ll begin payments.
One day, about nine months later, he comes home to find his wife looking confused. ‘Darling,’ she says, ‘you’ve received a very strange postcard today.’
‘Oh, really?’ the man replies. ‘Let me see.’
The wife watches as her husband reads the message
on the postcard, turns white and faints. On the card is written: Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without. Send extra sauce.
