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% for starters, explaining that even
10% 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% 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%. 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 milkman dead on the porch.
