Labor Pains
A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered.
Upon arrival the doctor said that he had invented a machine that
would transfer a portion of the 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 the knob at 10% for starters, explaining that even
10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced
before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he
asked the doctor to bump the machine up a notch. The doctor then
adjusted the machine to 20%.
The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and pulse and was
amazed at how well he was doing. At 50% the husband was still holding
up fine, since this was obviously helping out his wife he encouraged
the doctor to transfer all of the pain.
The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and
her husband were absolutely thrilled. Everything was great until
they got home and found the mailman dead on their porch.
