A married couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered.
Upon 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 of the baby.
He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favour of it.
The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent
was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the
labour progressed, the husband felt fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and
bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent 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 point, they decided to try
for 50 percent. 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, the milkman was dead on their porch.
