Rectal thermometers are like septic tanks - unpleasant, but vital. And while we're happy they exist, we don't want to get personally involved.

Did they think this would make things better? Listen closely, thermometer makers: there are some things that can be made better, and some that can't. Rear-end temperature taking can't.
