The Blood Donor
An Arab Sheik was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arose.
As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out.
Finally a Yorkshireman was located who had a similar blood type.
The Yorkshireman willingly donated his blood for the Arab.
After the surgery, the Arab sent the Yorkshireman, as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, diamonds & US dollars.
A couple of days later, once again, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery.
His doctor telephoned the Yorkshireman who was more than happy to donate his blood again.
After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Yorkshireman a thank-you card and a box of chocolates.
The Yorkshireman was shocked that the Arab did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated.
He phoned the Arab and asked him: "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me a BMW, diamonds & money, but you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of chocolates."
To this the Arab replied: "Aye laddie, but I now have Yorkshire blood in ma veins".
Yorkshire joke.

Re: Yorkshire joke.
Was that a scottish/arab accent he spoke in?
No wonder he was as tight aada. It's a wonder he parted with the blood after the op....
What did they do with the blood they stored before the op anyway

A very funny joke Mizzy and how typical of the MoldY one to start nit-picking when we touch a nerve.Alan H wrote:Was that a scottish/arab accent he spoke in?

But I do think the Arab, now with Yorkie blood in his veins, would most probably have only sent a thankyou letter, (stamp to be payed for on receipt of course)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Stamp? You don't need a stamp when the note is on a pigeon's leg!
