[Margaret Pilkington]

a retired midwife died and when she got to the Pearly Gates St Peter asked if there was anything she wished she could do back on earth.
She thought for a moment and said 'Yes...I would like to go back to earth and see how a father would cope with the pain of childbirth.
Quick as a wink she was whisked back to earth.
she found herself in the bedroom of a woman who was obviously in the advanced stages of Labour.
The mother to be looked relaxed and happy...in no pain at all.
Her husband was sat by the window in the room reading the paper.
Elsa asked him how he felt.
'fine came the reply...in fact, never better, but I think someone should call the ambulance for Sam next door...he is rolling round the lawn in agony.
