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 willing to try it out. Both said they were very
much
in favor of it.
The doctor set the pain transfer 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 and asked the doctor to go ahead and
kick it up a notch.
The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20
percent 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
percent. 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 UPS man dead
on the porch.
