Why Rectal Thermometers

I suppose since this blog has rectal thermometer in its title I should have some information about them. I really hate searching for something and getting a totally useless site. So I suppose, I can add some stuff.

  • Why My Rectal Thermometer Blog? Well first of all it did get cached by google very quickly, and it ranks and rather easily for Rectal Thermometers. Perhaps if I actually put some useful information into it, it will acutally rank higher. hmm.
  • Secondly, I had been using it, that is the phrase “rectal thermometers” as a sort of funny phrase. You know when you are sitting there and I would have nothing to say, I would whisper into my girl friends ear, “you know, I forgot my rectal thermometer” or “that person could use a rectal thermometer” when I would see someone who looked particularly pinched.
  • This phrase goes along with another phrase that I have used for years when I want to break the tensions with someone who seems to have a sense of humor, I would say with a very serious face” What do you think of the rectum as a hole?” and before they could reply I would add in, “It is a very smelly place.” Usually this ends up cracking the other person up…that is if they have a sense of humor…and timing has to be right. I believe I started saying this due to a fellow GI who was from Rector, Arkansas…we would always say he was from Rectum. But that is another story for latter blogs about my days in the Army. As I said before, timing is very important, and also audience. Don’t make the same mistake as me of calling my girlfriend, but getting her mom, and telling her these two lines. Talk about embarrassing. Also not to be used in school or at work with the boss…unless you want to get in trouble or fired.
  • The next bit of humor that I remember about rectal thermometers is the urban myth about the product tester…eww…for complete details of this myth visit snopes.com. This story always seems to brighten up my day.
  • Just saw the previews for the Wayans Brothers new movie, Little Man. In one seen they check his temperature with a rectal thermometer…priceless look on his face…will have to see that movie just for that bit. Love the Wayans Brothers.
