There Will Be Ten Gallons of Blood
Today, at a blood drive sponsored by my employer, I donated my 80th pint of blood. A little math shows that equals ten gallons. No wonder the vein in my left arm complains so much when they stick the needle into it.
They didn't have a little "10" pin to give me, though. I might have to go looking on eBay for one, because what's the point of giving ten gallons of blood, one pint at a time, over 20 years or so, if you don't get a pin? There isn't any other good reason that I can think of.
