A married couple went to have their baby delivered.
Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a
new machine that would transfer a portion of the
mother's labour pain to the baby's father.
He asked if they were willing to try it out.
They were both very much in favour of it. The doctor
set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining
that even 10% was probably more pain than the father
had ever experienced before.
However, as the labour progressed, the husband felt
fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick 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 delivered a healthy baby with virtually no
pain. She and her husband were ecstatic.
When they got home, the postman was dead on the porch
