From An Arab Sheik was admitted to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery the doctors needed to find a supply of his rare blood type in case the need arose. However, it couldn't be found locally, so the call went out to all the states. Finally, in Stillwater, Minnesota, a Norwegian was located who had the right blood type. The Norwegian, whose name was Ole, willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent Ole, as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, a pile of diamonds and several million U.S. dollars. Many days later, once again the Arab had to go through some corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned Ole who was more than happy to donate his blood again. After the second surgery, the Arab sent Ole a thank-you card and five pounds of lutefisk. Ole was shocked that this time the Arab did not reciprocate with a new car, diamonds, and money. He phoned the Arab and said, 'I thought dat you vould be yenerous again, and dat you vould give me anudder BMdubleU an diamonds and money. But you only gave me a tank-you card and some lutefisk!' To this the Arab replied, 'Ya, but now I haf Norvegian blood in my veins so I gotta tink tvice before I spend my money.'

I've never donated blood before. Kinda scared to although I know it's a good cause. A few years ago I didn't weigh enough. They said I had to be over 110 pounds. I am close to 115 pounds now but tend to get strange reactions from things, so I just haven't done it. Afraid I'll pass out or something. lol
Cute little story BTW!
