> A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered.
On their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that
would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pain to the 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 to transfer to 10% for starters,
explaining that even 10% was probably more than the father had ever
experienced before.
But 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 milkman was dead on the porch.
