Articles: Humour | Secret Code
- Mr. Rami Reddy
| |
The story goes that a prominent, married, philandering, wealthy politician took advantage of a young female Italian translator during an overseas visit. Shortly after his return home he received a phone call at his office from the woman informing him that she was pregnant and that he was definitely the father.
Seemingly experienced at dealing with such situations, the politician instructed the young woman, 'I will arrange for you and the child to be provided for. Do not worry about money. I will pay ten times the typical Italian settlement, but this must be kept secret.'
'I see,' said the young woman, a little taken aback, but since she knew the man and his reputation she was not unduly surprised, and was also entirely happy never to see or speak to him again.
He went on, 'Don't ever call me again. Send me a postcard with some sort of coded message confirming date of birth, that the child is healthy and whether a boy or girl. Use your imagination - you are a translator after all.'
'As you wish,' said the young woman, and ended the call.
A little under nine months later the politician's wife (who was also his PA) was opening his mail. When she came to a particular postcard the politician noticed and suddenly became attentive.
'Here's a postcard...' said his wife.
'Oh yes,' said the politician, 'What does it say?'
'Just a silly joke I think,' said his wife, continuing, as she watched the colour drain from her husband's face, 'It says: 'March 12th - Just had three big beautiful bowls of spaghetti - all with meatballs..'
Have fun?
