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 bigshot.
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 complaining 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 buttocks in the air and gawked. Finally, he
asks, "What's going on here?"
The guy barks, "Haven't you ever seen someone having his temperature
taken?"
"Not with a petunia."

-if you have to ask get out of the way-
Have you ever been stopped by a traffic cop and, while he was
writing a ticket or giving you a warning, you got the feeling that
he would just love to yank you out of the car, right through the
window, and smash your face into the front fender?...
