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.

A Christmas present

8 days till Christmas and I still haven't received any present from my sponsors. This is not only alarming, it is also very sad.

I know they are always running on a tight schedule (And what lovely tights they have), which makes such simple gesture even more difficult to comply, especially with the shopping centers so packed in this time of the year.

Since I am a reasonable person, I decided not to ask for one. Instead my only wish is to spend some time with them (Both, at the same time, for around 3 to 4 hours) during this season holidays. Their presence in my place is all I need to have a very happy Christmas.
