A man took his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth, and the doctor told them that he had developed a new machine and asked if they would like to try it out. The machine could take some of the pain of childbirth from the mother and give it to the father to ease the mothers burden.



Well, they thought that was a good idea and decided to give it a try. The doctor set it at 10% to begin with, telling the man that even 10% was probably more pain than he had ever experienced.



But the man was surprised at how little pain he was feeling, and asked the doctor to raise it. So he put it up to 20%, and since the man still felt fine, the doctor raised it to 50%, and finally to 100%.



After the birth was over, the man stood up, stretched a little, and helped his wife into the car, both of them feeling fine. But when they got home, they found the mailman dead on their doorstep.
