Spaghetti
A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years. One night, during one of their secret meetings, she confided in him that she was three months pregnant. After his initial anger subsided, he told her his plan.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he said he would give her a large amount of money if she would go to Italy and secretly have the child. If she remained in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned eighteen, or if female, until she was married.
She hesitated, but agreed, and asked "How will you know when the baby was born?" To keep it as discrete as possible, and because his wife shared his email account, he told her to simply send him some email jokes with the word "Spaghetti" as the title of one of them. Nothing had to be included in the body of the message.
As soon as he received the message, he would arrange for child support payments to begin. One day, about six months later, he came home to his confused wife. "Honey, you received a very strange joke in your email today," she said, "and I have no idea what the punch line is supposed to be, if there even is one."
"Oh, okay, let me take a look," he said. The wife backed away from the computer, and was looking over his shoulder. She was dumbfounded as she watched her husband read the email joke, turn white and faint, falling backwards in his chair.
The title of the email joke was "Spaghetti", as you'd expect, but the body of the message wasn't empty as he had instructed. It said "Spaghetti, Spaghetti and Spaghetti. Two plates have meat balls and one does not."
