Be nice to nurses!

A grumpy, overbearing office manager once had to spend a couple
of days in the hospital. He was a royal pain to the nurses,
bossing 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 would stand up to him.

She walked into his room and announced, "I have to take your
temperature."

After complaining for a few minutes he finally settled down,
crossed his arms and opened his mouth.

"No, I'm sorry," the nurse said, "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 inserting the
thermometer, she said, "Now, I have to go get something. You stay
just like that until I get back!"

She left the door to his room open on her way out, and the man
cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past his door
snickering. After quite some time had passed, a doctor walked
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 before?"

After a pause, the doctor replied, "Yes... but never with a

DAFFODIL!"
