NEW HIGH-TECH MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH 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 willing to try it out. 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 mailman dead on the porch.
