An Arab Sheik was admitted to 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.
Finally a Scotsman 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, once again, the Arab 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
box of Quality Street chocolates.
The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab did not reciprocate his kind gesture
as he had anticipated.
He phoned the Arab & 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 box of Quality Street ."
To this the Arab replied: "Aye laddie, but I now have Scottish blood in ma
veins".
