Give blood

For the first time in my life I donated blood today.



It's the second time that I tried; the first time they didn't want my blood. The amount of red blood cells was to low.



An interesting experience; my arm is still a bit numb, but I got a free coke and a Leberkässemmel (a type of fine meat loaf on a roll) out of it. Who said altruism didn't pay?



One way or the other, blood donation campaigns use the oddest logos in the world ever.



And if you're having sexual intercourse with men as a man and say so in your registration form, the red cross might not accept your blood.
