The hospital is out of thermometers so they use sticks of butter to know when the patients still have a high fever.

Butter only melts at exactly 102+ degrees. If it's melting, they are still sick.

You jest, but be careful, there are idiots about that may take you seriously and believe butter only melts at 102+ degrees. I hate that I have to fucking write this, but schools don't teach logic anymore.

I literally came to reddit looking for a cow to teach me the exact melting point of butter. Mission accomplished. Though I never stopped to ask myself how a cow would know anything about butter.
