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 state, "but for this reading, I can't use an oral
thermometer". This started another round of complaining, but
eventually he rolled over and bared his behind. 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 pass his door laughing.
After a half 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,
"Not with a Carnation."
