When a wealthy married man began an affair with an Italian woman, he thought he had everything under control—until she told him she was pregnant. Desperate to protect his marriage and reputation, he made her an offer: leave the country, have the baby in secret, and he would support the child financially until they turned 18.
The woman agreed but asked how he would know when the baby arrived. To keep things discreet, he instructed her to send a postcard with the word “Spaghetti” written on the back. That would be his signal to start sending money.
Months later, the man’s wife handed him a postcard from Italy, looking puzzled. Trying to stay calm, he brushed it off, saying he’d explain later. But when he read the message, he nearly fainted.
The postcard didn’t just say “Spaghetti” once—it repeated the word three times, followed by: “One without meatballs, two with them. Please send more sauce.”
