A CEO-type was in the hospital,
being treated for a minor injury.
For a week he'd made a complete nuisance of himself, irritating
all
the staff, shouting orders and demanding attention, complaining
about
the food, the bed, the temperature, the weather. Typical bigshot.
One morning a nurse's helper entered the room, saying, "Time
to take
your temperature, sir."
After growling that she was disturbing his nap, the guy finally
opened his mouth for the thermometer.
"Sorry, sir," said the nurse, "but for this test
we need your
temperature from the other end."
After bitching about the embarrassment and inconvenience, the guy
finally rolled over and bared his butt.
After the nurse finished, she said, "Stay exactly like that
and don't
move. I'll be back in five minutes to check up on you."
The nurse left, leaving the door ajar. The guy's back is to the
door,
and for over an hour, he hears people wandering up and down the
hall,
laughing.
At length the guy's doctor entered the room, saw the guy with his
bare ass in the air and gawked. Finally, he asks, "What's
going on
here?"
The guy barks, "Haven't you ever seen someone having their
temperature taken?"
"Not with a petunia."
