French & Perverts

Yesterday I went to donate blood with a couple of friends. One of them is French and as we were walking down the street she couldn´t hide her excitement regarding what we were about to do. She called her mother who decided to give her a history lesson and didn´t share the same enthusiasm when it comes to be a humanitarian. To her daughter´s joy of "Mom zy ame goinge to donate blud" (She said it in french) the lady promptly responded: "Don´t you sink zwe ave given enoufe blud to ze Germanzs alreadii?"

In the end, none of us spilled a drop of blood. According to the German Healthcare Authorities, we are sexual perverts emotionally unbalanced: You can´t have had a one night stand in a period shorter than 3 months to donate it. This means good and bad news: Apparently after such period you are free from AIDS but on the dark side, people in need of a transfusion will get mostly ugly and fat blood.
