Irony

I got home from picking up the car and the phone rang.

It was the American Red Cross, who are concerned about a significant shortage in the local blood supply, and they were calling to book specific personal appointments for donations.

I explained politely to the nice woman that regrettably, they wouldn't accept my blood because I was a sexually active gay man, and until they changed their rules I would not be allowed to donate blood even though willing.

She said she would make a note of that for future campaigns.

Maybe one of thesed days they'll get around to updating their blood donation protocols.

??!?!?!?!? Yer KIDDING. (I was, in my comment above, but sadly I fear you are not.)

...Then how do they test COWS for it???

So according to them, you could theoretically come down with Mad Cow disease any day now - for the rest of your life.

Yeah, right.
It's pathetic. -_-

They kill the cow (or wait until it falls over dead if we aren't lucky) and dissect its brain, and examine the tissue for evidence of BSE*


*That's Bovine Spongiform Encephalophathy, aka Mad Cow Disease
