    I once knew an altah bochur who was a lawyer at a big firm and was always answering work emails.

    Once, his wife was in labor, and he was in the delivery room, and was answering work emails and setting up calls.

    They gave him an epidural.

    I have a strange feeling this story isn’t true.

    Maybe you need an epidural

    They gave him an epidural.

    That’s because when she got to the hospital, the wife said her last name WAS epidural. They figured they could charge double and gave one to both Mr. and Mrs. Epidural.

    The lesson? The wife should keep her last name :p

    If someone reads his emails while in shul or by chazaras hashatz, al achas kama vkama he could be emailing during her labor.
