A big shot business man had to spend a couple of days in the
hospital.
He was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed them
around just like he did
his employees.
None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him.
The head
nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She came into his
room and
announced,
"I have to take your temperature."
After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down,
crossed his
arms and opened his mouth.
"No, I'm sorry, the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I
cannot use an
oral thermometer."
This started another round of complaining, but eventually he rolled
over and
bared his rear end.
After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her
announce, "I
have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get
back!"
She leaves the door to his room open on her way out. He curses under
his
breath as he hears people walking past his door laughing. After
almost an
hour, the man's doctor comes into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you
ever seen
someone having their temperature taken?"
After a pause, the doctor confesses, "Well, no. I guess I
haven't.
Not with a carnation
anyway."
