The general was confined to the military hospital for treatment of a minor malady.
For almost a week he made a complete nuisance of himself, irritating both staff and the other patients, demanding attention and expecting his every order to be followed immediately.
He was in a six-man ward rather than a private room, his meals were too cold or not served to suit his taste, the light needed to be adjusted to his demands, the nighttime activities interfered with his rest... and on, and on.
One afternoon an orderly entered the room. "Time to take your temperature, General."
After growling at the orderly, the general opened his mouth to accept the thermometer.
"Sorry, General, but for this test we need your temperature from the other end."
A whole new barrage of verbal abuse followed, but the orderly was insistent that a rectal temperature was what the test called for.
The general at last rolled over, bared his rear, and allowed the orderly to proceed. The orderly then told the general, "Stay exactly like that and don't move. I'll be back in five minutes to check up on you" and withdrew.
An hour later, the head nurse entered the room, saw the general with his bare rear in the air and gasped, "What's going on here?"
"Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?" the general barked.
"Yes I have, General, but with a daffodil?

Your first set of 'stats' are instead pointless on the grounds that they don't account for those very glaring info. so some distance as your 2d set of 'stats' I desire to make certain a source. For a 2nd I supply you the coolest thing approximately doubt and say your 'stats' are splendid. that's beautiful to notice that of the final 5 presidents the three who have been over 50% (Republicans) even have been responsible for starting to be the countrywide debt the main. of the present greater or less $14.5 trillion of countrywide debt, Republican presidents Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr., are at present reliable for around $eleven trillion of that quantity. i think of many human beings may be greater advantageous susceptible to place our faith in a collection of adult adult males and girls who've mandatory to artwork low paying government jobs their total lives nonetheless than a collection on individuals who've worked intense paying, intense progression company jobs their finished lives who had little to no touch or empathy for the original guy.
