A married couple went to the
hospital to have their baby
delivered.
Upon their arrival, the doctor said
that the hospital was testing an
amazing new high-tech machine
that would transfer a portion of
the mother's labor pain to the
baby's father.
He asked if they were interested.
Both said they were very much in
favor of it.
The doctor set the pain transfer to
10 percent for starters, explaining
that even 10 percent was probably
more pain than the father had ever
experienced before.
But as the labor 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 percent pain
transfer.
The husband was still feeling fine.
The doctor then checked the
husband's blood pressure and was
amazed at how well he was doing.
At this point they decided to try
for 50 percent.
The husband continued to feel quite
well. Since the pain transfer was
obviously helping 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, and the
husband had experienced none.
She and her husband were ecstatic.
When they got home they found
the UPS man dead on the porch.
