A wealthy man was admitted to hospital for heart surgery but, the doctors needed to store his blood type before the surgery in case the need arose. As the gentleman had a rare type, it couldn’t be found locally, so, the call went out.
Finally, a man was located who had a similar blood type. He willingly donated his blood for the wealthy man. After the surgery, the man sent his donor, in appreciation for his giving his blood to help save his life, a new BMW, a 5-carat diamond and $50,000 dollars.
A couple of days later, the wealthy man had to go through a corrective surgery.
The hospital telephoned the donor who was more than happy to donate more of his blood.
After the second surgery, the man sent the donor a thank-you card and a box of Black Magic chocolates.
The donor was shocked that the man did not reciprocate his contribution as he had before. He phoned the man and asked him, “I thought you would be generous again, that you might give me another BMW, diamonds and money… but you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of cheap chocolates.”
To this the wealthy man replied, “Aye laddie, but I’ve Scottish blood in me veins now.”
