The pain of childbirth

[tele_nut]

A husband and wife were at the hospital, awaiting the

birth of their child.

 

The doctor told them she had an experimental machine

that could transfer some of the pain of childbirth from the mother to the father. The couple decided to give it a try.

 

As the wife went into labor, the doctor set the machine

at 10% explaining that the man would probably feel

more pain than he had ever known.

 

To everyone's surprise, he felt no pain at all. The doctor slowly increased the percentage. The man still felt fine, and at last he asked to have all of the pain. The amazed doctor honored his request, and the new mother concluded her delivery virtually pain free.

 

Afterward, the couple returned home with their new baby. As they pulled in the driveway, they saw their mailman-dead on the sidewalk.

One night, as a couple lay down for bed, the husband gently tapped his

wife on the shoulder and started rubbing her arm. His wife turned over

and said, "I'm sorry honey, I've got a gynecologist appointment tomorrow

and I want to stay fresh." Her husband, rejected, turned over and tried

to sleep. A few minutes later, he rolled back over and tapped his wife

again. This time he whispered in her ear, "Do you have a dentist

appointment tomorrow too?"
