Labor Pains

Once a woman was in labor； she was having a really tough time dealing with the pain. The doctor came to her husband and her and told them of a new experimental drug that allows the woman to transfer 25% of the pain to the father. The husband felt really bad for his wife so he decided they would try it.

The wife took the pill and a few minutes later the husband said，“I don’t feel a thing. You women are babies. Take another pill and I can handle this.”So the wife took another pill. Same thing happened. Her husband told her to take another pill. Still the same thing happened. By now she had transferred 75% of her pain to her husband. She was feeling a little pain but her husband was still feeling nothing. He told her，“Take another pill. This isn’t hurting me at all. Let me take all the pain away.”So she did. Now they were both feeling great.

A few hours later，the wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. The next day they took their newborn son home，and there they found the mailman dead on the doorstep.
