Thank You
An Arab Sheik was admitted to a Royal Naval hospital for complicated 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
( something to do with the minor blood group antigens) and none could be found locally, the call went out for donors.
Finally a Scottish Chief from a nearby sickbay was located who had a similar blood type.
The Chief willingly donated his blood for the Arab.
After the surgery the Arab sent the Chief, in appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW,
several diamonds and £50,000.
A few weeks later the Arab had to go through some corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned the Chief
who was more than happy to donate blood again.
After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Chief a thank-you card.
The Chief 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 be more appreciative,
but this time you only gave me a thank-you card."
"Aye laddie," the Sheik replied, "cos I noo hae Scottish blood in ma veins."
