The General was recovering from emergency gall bladder surgery and driving<br />the medical staff nuts. His shouted orders and demands had begun to distract<br />the nurses from other patients and had them at their wits end. When the<br />General thought the staff was not jumping fast enough to suit him he<br />demanded to see the doctor. About an hour later a man in scrubs and a<br />surgical mask came into the room.<br /><br />"Let's see if we can't get you out here, General. I just need to make sure<br />you aren't running any low-grade fever. So turn over on your stomach and<br />we'll take your temp."<br /><br />The old soldier rolled over and the medic inserted the instrument saying it<br />was going to take a few minutes and he would be right back.<br /><br />About ten minutes later a nurse came in, looked at the General and said,<br />"Are you alright, sir?"<br /><br />"Yes, he!! yes, haven't you ever seen a man getting his temperature taken?"<br /><br />"Yes sir, but with a daffodil?"
