[Blindtlk] Talking thermometers

[Dave]

The rectum thermometers are the most accurate, over the oral thermometers 
but of course if you're over the age of three then you don't want your 
parents inserting you with the rectum thermometer, go with the oral one. 
You can buy talking thermometers at just about any pharmacy or try LSS. 
Make sure you don't switch back and forth between oral and rectum, mark them 
properly or you'll get ***** in your mouth
