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. The machine was
remarkable as it required no attachments to the dad but would transfer the pain.

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 per cent 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 per cent 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 per cent. 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 no pain either. She and her husband were ecstatic! When they got home, the postman was dead on the porch.
