For several 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 provide child support until the child was 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 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 will explain 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!!!!!!!"
