"But how will I let you know the baby is born?" she asked. He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write spaghetti " on it. Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy.
About seven months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and explained, "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 massive heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back with the wife to comfort her. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the postcard and read:
Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti
Two with sausage & meatballs - two without.
