Another medical break-through

              A couple went to the hospital to have 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 interested. Both said they were very much in favor of it.

              The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters,
explaining that even 10% 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% 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%. 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 mailman dead on the porch.
