A wealthy man was being unfaithful to his wife, having an affair lasting several years with a young, gorgeous Italian woman. One night during one of their secret trysts, she confided to him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to damage his standing in the community or further harm his marriage, he offered her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy and have the baby. He offered her additional financial support if she agreed to stay there until the child was 18.
She accepted, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. Wanting to remain discreet, he told her to mail him a postcard when the baby arrived. "Write spaghetti on the card and I will know that the baby has been born and I will start the additional child support."
Nine months later, he came home to his confused wife who told him he got a rather strange postcard in the mail. Flustered, he said, "Just give it to me. I'm sure I can explain it later." His wife handed him the card and watched him read it. His face turned white and his knees buckled. The card read, "Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti. . .two with meatballs and one without!"
