A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward¹, she told him she was pregnant². 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 the baby is born?" she asked.

He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back." "I'll take care of expenses." Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and fly to Italy.

Six 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, 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 what trauma³ had precipitated⁴ the cardiac arrest.

So the wife picked up the card and read "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs, two without."

有一个医生和他的护士有一腿，后来他的护士告诉他，她怀孕了。医生不想让太太知道，于是乎他给了护士一笔钱，并告诉她带着钱去意大利把小孩生下来。

护士问说：“那我要如何让你知道小孩子出生了呢？”

医生回答：“就寄个名信片，上面写个 ‘意大利面条’在背面就可以了，我会照顾你所有的费用的。”这护士于是拿了钱飞往意大利。

六个月过去了，有一天医生的太太打电话给医生说：

“亲爱的，我收到一张明信片，从欧洲寄来的，但不知道讲些什么？”

医生跟太太说道，“等我回去后再解释给你听”。

那天晚上，医生回到家，看了那张名信片后便心脏病发倒在地板上。

医护人员赶紧送进急诊室，这时主治医生站到医生的太太旁边安慰道：“是什么创痛让他突然心脏病发？”

他太太拿起那张名信片，念道“意大利面条，意大利面条，意大利面条，意大利面条——两个有附香肠和肉圆，两个没有。”
