SHARING THE PAIN OF BIRTH
A man took his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth & the doctor
told them that he'd developed a new machine & asked if they'd like to
try it out. The machine could take some of the pain of childbirth from
the mother & give it to the father to ease the mother's burden.
Well, they thought that was a good idea & decided to give it a try, so
the doctor set it on 10 percent to begin with, telling the man that even
10 percent was probably more pain than he'd ever experienced. But the
man was surprised at how little pain he was feeling & asked the doctor
to raise it. So he put it up to 20 percent & when the man still felt
fine, he raised it to 50 & finally 100 percent.
After it was over, the man stood up, stretched a little. Both he & his
wife felt fine. Later, when they took the baby home, they found the
mailman dead on their doorstep.
