A rare blood type

[LONDONER]

An Arab Sheik was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to have some of his blood type stored in case the need arose.

As the gentleman had an extremely rare type of blood that couldn't be found locally, the call went out around the world. Finally a Scotsman was located who had the same rare blood type. After some coaxing, the Scot donated his blood for the Arab.

After the surgery the Arab sent the Scotsman a new BMW, a diamond necklace for his wife, and $100,000 US dollars in appreciation for the blood donation.

A few months later, the Arab had to undergo a corrective surgery procedure. Once again, his doctor telephoned the Scotsman who this time was more than happy to donate his blood.

After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates. The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated.

He then phoned the Arab and asked him: "I thought you would be more generous than that -last time you sent me a BMW, diamonds and money, but this time you only sent me a lousy thank-you card and a crappy box of chocolates ?"

To this the Arab replied: "Aye laddie, but I now have Scottish blood in me veins".

Are the Scots a cheap people? I thought this was funny.

Yes, the Scots are supposed to be tight fisted. Not necessarily true but that the reputation they are supposed to have.

Are the Scots a cheap people?

These Isles are full of such urban myths. Not true at all, we are a generous and hearty bunch mile:

Certainly not true in the case of my best friend who is Scottish and who is the kindest and most generous person I know.

The only thing I know about the Scottish is what I get from Outlander and that Kevin McKidd is Scottish.
