An Old Businessman Spend Days In The Hospital. –

A big-shot elderly businessman 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 left the door to his room open on her way out.

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 his temperature taken before?”

After a pause, the doctor confessed with a suppressed laugh in his voice:

“Well, no, I guess I haven’t. Not with a carnation, anyway!”
