HATE YOUR JOB?
When you have an "I Hate My Job" day, try this. On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson. Be very sure you get THIS brand!
Once you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Then change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer.
Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken. Now the fun part begins.
Take out the literature and read it carefully. You will notice that, in small print, there is a statement, "Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested.
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, I am so glad I do not work in the Thermometer quality control at Johnson & Johnson."
HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ARSE THAN YOURS!
Now wasn't that funny?

OK, ok...before you start in on me. I'll also post what Snopes has to say about this:
..."the point that some people are apparently missing is that rectal thermometers aren't tested by using them the very same way end consumers would. The "testing" they're put through is a process which ensures they accurately measure a designated range of temperatures, achieved by calibrating them with known temperatures in carefully-controlled conditions. Personal individual testing of rectal thermometers is too labor-intensive and time-consuming a process for such an inexpensive product, nor would it satisfactorily ensure accuracy because the body temperatures of the "testers" would be too variable (and the manufacturer would have to employ a whole lot of very sick people to test their thermometers across the high and low extremes of human body temperature). Aside from that, there are probably at least a few health regulations that prohibit the resale of items which have previously been inserted into someone's rectum."
Now aint' THAT a joke killer?
