This is to let you all know you need to be nice to all those nurses out there!!!!


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 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 a half hour, the man's 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 ......"Not with a carnation"

This joke is reeeally old. I first saw it in Readers Digest about 45-50 years ago. Then it was a Navy admiral and a daffodil.

They say there are no really new jokes.

She could have used a rose (complete with thorns)

It was first listed in Readers Digest under Humor in Uniform in 1958 with the daffodil, in 1959 the movie "Carry on Nurse" used it as part of the movie with a daffodil. Just shows if you wait long enought, everything comes around again.

Damn you guys are old!
I was 4 in 1958... Uless you saw some really old Reader's Digest's stored away in the attic..

Mike,

My dad was 10 in 1958.

It might be old, but it's still pretty funny.

A doctor walked into a bank. Preparing to endorse a check, he pulled a rectal thermometer out of his shirt pocket and tried to 'write' with it. Realizing his mistake, he looked at the thermometer with annoyance and said, "Well that's great, just great... some arsehole's got my pen
