Be Nice - Joke
When you're hospitalized, it pays to be nice to your nurse,
even when you're feeling miserable.
A bossy businessman learned the hard way after ordering
his nurses around as if they were his employees.
But the head nurse stood up to him.
One morning she entered 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 can't use an oral thermometer."
This started another round of complaining, but eventually
he rolled over and bared his bottom. 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 left the door to his room open on
her way out, and he cursed under his
breath as he heard people walking past
his door laughing. After almost an hour,
the man's doctor came into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answered, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever
seen someone having their temperature taken?"
"Yes," said the doctor. "But never with a carnation."
