Good deeds

I gave blood this afternoon. The Indiana Blood Center hosted a blood drive at the law school. I can hardly tell y'all to go donate blood and not give myself, right?

Anyhow, I filled out the obligatory information and met with the nurse first. If you've ever given blood, you know the drill with the questions about sex, drugs and tattoos. I know it's serious business, but I couldn't help but make a joke or two about whether I had snorted cocaine in the past month (I have not), whether I had injected any kind of bovine growth hormone (um, nope), or whether I have had sex in the past year with anyone born in Africa after 1977 (negative again).

What amused me most: the nurse told me that I must be a very calm person based on my low blood pressure. HA!
