A top executive had to spend a few days in the hospital. He was a royal pain to the nurses, bossing them around like they were his employees. None of the staff wanted 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 several minutes of complaining, he finally settled down, crossed his arms, and opened his mouth. "No, I'm sorry," the nurse said, "but for this reading I cannot use an oral thermometer." This started another round of complaints, but eventually he rolled over and bared his rear-end. After the nurse inserted the thermometer, she announced, "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, his 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?" After a pause, the doctor confessed, "Well, no. I guess I haven't. Not with a carnation, anyway."
