A CEO-type is in the hospital, being treated for a minor problem.  For a week
 he has made a complete nuisance of himself - shouting orders, demanding
 attention, insulting the staff, and complaining about the food, the bed, the
 temperature, and the weather.
 
 One morning a nurse's aide enters the room and tells him, "Time to take your
 temperature, sir."
 
 After growling that she is disturbing his nap, the guy finally opens his mouth
 for the thermometer.
 
 "Sorry, sir," says the aide, "but for this test we need your temperature from
 the other end."
 
 Bitching loudly about the embarrassment and inconvenience, the guy rolls over
 and bares his butt.  After the aide finishes, she tells him, "Stay exactly
 like that and don't move.  I'll be back in a few minutes to check up on you."
 
 The aide goes out, leaving the door ajar.  The guy's back is to the door, and
 for what seems like hours, he hears people going up and down the hall,
 laughing. Eventually his doctor comes in, sees him with his bare ass in the
 air, gawks, and blurts out, "What the hell is going on here?"
 
 The guy barks, "Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?"
 
 "Not with a petunia."
