Daily Joke: The big shot businessman and the hospital nurse

A big shot businessman had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. The nurses were frustrated by him because he bossed them around just like he did his employees. None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him either.

The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She walked 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, she said to him, “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 answers, “What’s the matter, Doc? Haven’t you ever seen someone having their temperature taken before?”

After a pause, the doctor replies, “Yes, but never with a daffodil!”
