A married couple arrived at the hospital, ready to welcome their baby into the world. The doctor greeted them with exciting news: he had invented a machine that could transfer a portion of the mother’s labor pain to the father.

Curious and eager to help, the couple agreed to give it a shot.

The doctor started with a modest 10% transfer, warning the husband that even this small amount might be more pain than he had ever experienced. But to everyone’s surprise, the husband felt completely fine.

“Let’s bump it up,” he said confidently.

The doctor increased the transfer to 20%. Still, the husband didn’t flinch.

Amazed, the doctor checked his vitals—perfectly normal! Encouraged, they cranked it up to 50%.

Still nothing.

By now, the wife was feeling great, so the husband, feeling invincible, said,
“Doc, just give me all of it!”

The doctor transferred 100% of the labor pain to the father.

The wife had the smoothest delivery imaginable—zero pain. The baby was born healthy, and the ecstatic couple couldn’t believe their luck.

They left the hospital, happier than ever.

But when they got home…

They found the mailman dead on the porch.
