Bayo Rotimi, in addition to his job at the post office and at an old folks' home, had now landed a third job.
It was as an accident and emergency department nursing assistant.
"You must learn to take temprature, pulse and blood pressure as soon as possible" said the sister in charge, then she added "practice on yourself all the time".
Bayo worked hard and was soon the Sister's favourite.
"See how dis Sista like man. See how she mark thermometer with my initial R, special special, for my use only" thought Bayo.
He checked his temprature regularly for weeks then one day he noticed for the first time an O next to some of the thermometers.
"Chai, so Oliver is now the favourite eh?" thought Bayo as he went to confront Sister.
"Sister what's up with the R's and O's?" he asked. "You are so intelligent, many of your colleagues never ask. Rectal tempratures compared to oral..." began Sister but Bayo no gree am finish.
"Oluwa Oba O ! (God the king !)" he screamed before running straight home to brush his teeth for five hours.
