Don't Upset the Nurse


Don't Upset the Nurse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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."
