No Pain at all

[HRA]

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 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 is 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 was dead on their
porch.
