A laugh for those in service overseas...please come home safe and sound!?

There was a reserve Colonel who was injured in a car accident in Baghdad last week. His injury was enough to keep him hospitalized, and he was the worst of patients toward the orderlies and nursing staff. Finally, one of the orderlies, after having taken enough of his guff, decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Sir," he said, "I need to take your temperature."

"Okay," he snarled, as he opened his mouth begrudgingly.

"No, Sir, we need to take it the other way. Please roll over. It's the most accurate way," the private "meekly" responded.

About three minutes later, one of the enlisted men from his battalion came by and asked him, "Colonel Frankton, just what the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?" the colonel snarled.

"Not with a daffodil, Sir."
