Spaghetti

[prisonchaplain]

An Italian exchange student begins at the University of Washington. In the cafetaria she meets a medical student. One thing leads to another, and they begin seriously dating. Perhaps a bit too seriously.

During one fateful night, the medical student confesses to his new love that he is not really a student, but a doctor, and that he is married. She is flabbergasted, and begins crying uncontrollably. She blurts out...but, but...I'm pregnant.

The love clouds immediately dissipate, and in a fit of what passes for chivalry in today's society, the good doctor asks her to return to Italy to have the baby. He will pay for everything, of course. In fact, if she stays in Italy to raise the child, he will pay generous child support.

"But how will you know the baby is born?" responds the saddened student.

Just send me a postcard that says "Spaghetti." I'll know what it means.

So, agree she does.

Nine months later, the doctor's wife comes into his study, looking perplexed. "I just got the strangest postcard."

She eyeballs the doctor as he reads. Suddenly he turns white as a ghost, and passes out.

Stunned, she looks again, but can make no sense of it. All it says is:

Spaghetti

Spaghetti

Spaghetti

Two with meatballs

One without

Send bread!

For like during church? Well if you were LDS, no one would ever ask you to do anything in church ever again. If that is your plan and purpose, then I recommend it highly (I've been wearing vans-red on the left foot and checker board on the right and I switch every week to make sure the shoes wear evenly).

It was a success in prison chapel, and has worked in one-on-one conversations with church people. Not sure I'd try it from the pulpit, however. If I was in the midwest or south, I wouldn't even think about it.

Thanks. I was afraid I might have to have the revival tent lot mowed!
