A wealthy Arab Sheik was admitted to hospital for heart
surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to
store his type of blood in case the need arose.
As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't
be found locally, so, the call went out.
Finally a Scotsman was located who had a similar blood type.
The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab.
After the surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman in
appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, 5 carats of
diamonds, and $50,000 dollars.
A couple of days later, once again, the Arab had to go
through a corrective surgery.
The hospital telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy
to donate more of his blood again.
After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman a
thank-you card and a box of chocolates.
The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab did not reciprocate
his kind gesture as he had before.
He phoned the Arab and asked him: "I thought you would
be generous again, that you would give me another BMW,
diamonds and money ... but you only gave me a thank-you card
and a box of chocolates."
To this the Arab replied: "Aye, laddie, but I now have
Scottish blood in my veins".
