Now that its Normal?

I'm called to triage a patient. Pt c/o of cramping stomach for 2 weeks. Okay whateva! So I begin to take his vitals, place the temp probe in his ear: reading 96.6. Pt: you didn't do that right it wasn't in all the way! Okay so I place in his ear again, nothing like meeting the need of my patient. He grabs at the probe and continues to push it deeper into the ear lobe, I press the button to scan: reading 96.4. My response: Uh now that its really a normal temp lets check your blood pressure! As I smile with empathy.
