Stories about cheating husbands getting busted never get old, as many of us have no sympathy for any man who would step out on his devoted wife. Now, there are several varieties of cheating husband jokes. Some involve the wife getting revenge after learning about the affair, while others involve his secret being exposed in a big twist. These jokes always remind us that it’s better, to be honest, and work things out with your spouse rather than sneak around their backs as the shame of being busted can feel a lot worse. The man in this fictional story learned this lesson the hard way the day his wife asked him about a strange letter.
A man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous, 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 also provide child support until the child turned 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 the child support payments to begin.
One day, about nine 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’ll explain it later” he said. The wife agreed and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.
On the card was written : “Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without.”
