With the current siege of flu
and bad colds, three University
fellows decided that they need
check-ups at Student Health.
Following her usual practice,
the nurse stuck thermometers in
their mouths.
After checking their tempera
tures, she sent two of the fel
lows upstairs to bed, telling one
of them that he had a tempera
ture of 103 degrees. The third
fellow, still feeling sick, was
sent back home.
It seems that she had gotten
the thermometers mixed up and
sent the wrong fellow home
while his healthy friend was
put in bed.
