Head Nurse

A big shot attorney 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
staff. 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 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
past 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"
