Scottish Blood In The Veins

An Arab Sheik was admitted to St Vincent 's Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arises.

As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out to all the states.

Finally a Scot was located who had a similar blood type

The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab Sheik.

After the surgery, the Arab Sheik sent the Scotsman as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, diamonds & US dollars.

Couple of days later, once again, the Arab 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 Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card & a jar of candies.

The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab Sheik this time did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated.

He phoned the Arab Sheik & 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 Sheik replied: “Aye, but I now have Scottish blood in me veins”.
