Donated Blood

An Arab Sheik was admitted to hospital for heart surgery.  Prior to the procedure, the doctors needed to store some blood in case the need arose. 

 
As the gentleman had a rare type of blood and couldn't be found locally, the call went out for donors.  Finally a Scotsman was located who had a similar blood type.  The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab.
 


After the surgery the Arab sent the Scotsman, in appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, several diamonds and $250,000.
 



A few weeks later the Arab had to go through some corrective surgery.  His doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate blood again.
 
 

After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates.
 


The Scotsman was shocked that the Sheik did not reciprocate his kind gesture in the way that he had anticipated.
 

He phoned the Sheik and said to him, "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me a BMW, diamonds and money, but this time you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of chocolates."
 



"Aye laddie," the Sheik replied, "because I now have Scottish blood in ma veins."
