Abie, a rather shy, retiring gentleman who lives southeast, sent this one...

A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided that she was pregnant.

Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money to go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child generous 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 child supportpayments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.

"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange postcard today."

"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it..." he said.

The wife watched as her husband read the card. He turned white and fainted.

On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti... Two with meatballs, one without."
