I broke the oral thermometer I'd had for 52 years and I bought a new "electronic" one. The mercury and alcohol ones seemed much thicker than they used to be.
From the warnings:
Do not use thermometer in car. Designed use is for oral, rectal, and armpit readings only.
Next line is a new topic. So apparently I can't put it in the tailpipe of my car to measure exhaust temperature. Darn.

Use it rectally first, then oral. Clean with armpit. What's the difference between oral and rectal? The taste. There is actually a difference between between temps as to where it's used. IIRC +1 rectal and -1 for armpit.
Good suggestion. I hope he follows them.
