Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would
transfer a portion of the mother’s labor pain to the father. He asked if they
were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor 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 labor 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, 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 arrived home, the postman was dead on their porch.
