greenlands Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 An Arab Sheik was admitted to St Vincents Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case it was found to be required during the procedure. As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out to other hospitals. Finally a Scot 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 as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, diamonds & US dollars. A couple of days later the sheik had to go through a corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood again. After the second surgery, the sheik sent the Scotsman a thank-you card & a jar of candies. The Scotsman was shocked that the sheik this time did not reciprocate his gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the sheik 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 & a jar of candies". To this the Arab replied: "Aye, but I now have Scottish blood in me veins".__
