Pasta Postcard

One day a doctor's wife called him at the office and said, "Dear, you received a very strange postcard from Italy and I don't understand what it means."

"Read it to me," the busy physician said.

So the wife read the card: "4 orders of spaghetti, 2 with sausage and meatballs and 2 without."

Hearing this, the doctor immediately fell to the floor and died of a heart attack. After his funeral, the doctor's wife hires a private investigator to figure out what the odd message meant. Some months later, the private eye brought a woman to the widow's door.

"I was having an affair with your husband," the attractive younger woman said. "But when I got pregnant, he sent me to Italy to have the baby. I was supposed to send him a postcard with the code word on it when I'd had the child."

"What was the code word?" The shocked widow demanded.

"Pasta. But I had quadruplets."
