Time To Take Your Temperature

"Aspirin"

A man walks into the pharmacy and asks the pharmacist,
"Do you have any acetylsalicylic acid?"

"Do you mean aspirin?" asks the pharmacist.

"That's it ! . . . I can never remember that word!!"

"Time To Take Your Temperature"

A CEO-type was in the hospital, being treated for a minor
deal. For a week he'd made a complete nuisance of himself,
irritating all the staff, shouting orders and demanding
attention, complaining about the food, the bed, the
temperature, the weather. Typical big shot.

One morning a nurse's helper entered the room, saying,
"Time to take your temperature, sir."

After growling that she was disturbing his nap, the guy
finally opened his mouth for the thermometer.

"Sorry, sir," said the nurse, "but for this test we need your
temperature from the other end."

After bitching about the embarrassment and inconvenience,
the guy finally rolled over and bared his butt. After the nurse
finished, she said, "Stay exactly like that and don't move.
I'll be back in five minutes to check up on you."

The nurse left, leaving the door ajar. The guy's back is to
the door, and for over an hour, he hears people wandering
up and down the hall, laughing. At length the guy's doctor
entered the room, saw the guy with his bare butt in the air
and gawked. Finally, he asks, "What's going on
here?"

The guy barks, "Haven't you ever seen someone
having their temperature taken?"

"Not with a daffodil."
