Labor pain
A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby deliavered.
Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine
that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father.
He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much
in favor of it. The doctor set th pain transfer to 10% for starters,
explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father
had ever experienced before. But as th labor progressed, the husband
felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch.
The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer.
The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's
blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point
they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well.
Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably,
the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.
The wife deliverer a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her
husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the mailman was dead on
the porch.
