Painless Birth Joke
A couple went to the hospital to have a baby. The doctor
told
them that he had invented a new machine that would
automatically
transfer a portion of the mother's labor
pain to the father.
He asked if the husband was willing
to try it out.
Both the husband and wife were very much
in favor of it.
The doctor set the knob at 10% for
starters, explaining that
even 10% was probably more
pain than the father had ever
experienced before. But,
as labor progressed, 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 pulse and was amazed at how
well he was doing.
At this, they decided to try for 50%.
The husband continued to feel
quite well. Since it was
obviously helping out his wife
considerably, he
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, they found
the
mailman dead on the porch.
