> THE LETTER
>
> A doctor was having an affair with his Italian-born nurse. Shortly
> afterward, she told him she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to
> know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to
> Italy and have the baby there.
>
> "But how will I let you know when the baby is born?" she asked.
>
> He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the
> back.
>
> I'll take care of all the child's expenses."
>
> Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to
> Italy.
>
> Six months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him
> at the office, "Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the
> mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means."
>
> The doctor said, "Just wait until I get home, and I will explain it
to
> you."
>
> Later that evening the doctor came home, read the postcard, and
> fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the
> ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He asked her
> what she thought might have caused the cardiac arrest. The wife
> picked up the card and read it to him: "Four Spaghettis: Two with
> sausage and meatballs, two without."
