My husband is like some of you. He has a very rare blood type (AB+ <4%) and frequently gets calls from the Blood Center (usually after he has had blood test for something) requesting he donate.
well one time he got a call and politely declined saying he was in a "high risk" group. I about choked on my drink when he said that. "What the hell do you mean you are in a high risk group?" I kinda yelled at him. "He said, you know I am. I am afraid of needles. Risk enough for me!" Milk about came out of my nose then. He is the only 33 year old man I have seen cry in the ER when he was told he had to have a tetnus shot.
