Sod the rubber sword

“Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood”

Mary Hirsch quotes

I was looking for an appropriate blood related quote, which was both humorous and poignant, for this latest blog post title. I finally decided on "Sod the rubber sword" after coming across the above quote by Mary Hirsch. I thought it would make the point, that I am making a point by drawing/donating blood this coming Friday, with a dash of humour.When else would I get to write something like "Sod the rubber sword"?(don't answer that). Whilst I say with confidence that I am donating blood on Friday, I could of course make a holy show of myself by puking or fainting or both. At least that would make a fun post and you could mock me at will.
Its especially important to me because of the mumborg and her current defective status. She had reached normal Hb levels on Saturday and wasn't expected to need anymore blood. Unfortunately these doctors like to change their minds more often than a whore's knicker elastic breaks, so on arrival at visiting time today, she was hooked up to another bag of the red stuff. Also the wound is still leaking and they have decided to open it up (well open it more) and have a look/rummage/poke. This involves an operating theatre, blood, superglue and some sticky back plastic, well maybe not the sticky back plastic. So as she is losing blood on Friday, I should hopefully be giving it, the circle of life continues, in its weird bloody way.

I am sure good old Frieddy was being all deep and meaningful, but sometimes it just sounds like a load of old pretentious bollocks.

The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito.

Mine better not get into a fool! I would be exceptionally pissed off. You aint putting my blood in no fool, fool.

Erm..... Just go and give some bloody blood! If you cant, then club someone over the head, kindly ask friends and family to go in your stead.
