I gave blood today. I've been giving pretty regularly for the past 10 years or so. It makes me feel good the rest of the day, like I did my good deed. It always amazes me that the questions continue to change. I used to get a kick out of the verbal question "Have you ever paid for sex or traded sex for drugs, even once?" or something to that effect. I used to say "Does buying my wife dinner count?" and I would get a polite chuckle. That question has since been moved to the open laptop portion of the questioning. I just gave back in May and I swear I had a new question today. It was asked verbally too...not part of the laptop questioning...which made me think it was new as well. The question? "Were you born a male or a female?" Howard Stern has been talking a lot about Chaz Bono lately and I almost laughed when the woman asked me. I wanted to be witty with her but I could tell I was dealing with Ms. Blood herself so I better not be a wise acre, lest I find myself booted out.

My youngest (age 7) has diabetes so I get flagged on two things and haven't been allowed to give for a couple of years - being exposed to someone else's blood and being stuck by a needle (I'm accident prone). I explain that the other party is my 7 year old son, but it doesn't seem to matter.
I hope Notre Dame doesn't fire him/her after just 5 years as coach.
It would appear that Chaz (formerly Chastity) Bono, Charlie Weis, and Fat Bastard from Austin Powers are indeed one in the same! Who knew?
