A big-shot politician and slum lord named Al Gore had to spent a few days in the hospital due to campaign stress. Al Gore was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed them around just like he did his campaign staff. None of the hospital workers wanted to have anything to do with him. The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She walked into Al's room and announced, "Mr. Gore I have to take your temperature."
After complaining for several minutes, Al finally settled down, and crossed his arms and opened his mouth. "No Mr. Gore, I'm sorry", the nurse said, "but for this reading, I can't use an oral thermometer." This started another round of complaining, but Al finally rolled over and bared his fat behind. After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, Al heard her announce, "I have to get something, now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!"
She leaves the door to Al's room open on her way out. Al curses under his breath as he hears people walking past his door, laughing. After almost an hour, Al Gore's doctor comes into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, Al Gore answers. "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken before?"
After a pause, the doctor replies. "Yes, but never with a daffodil!"
