Sheik and the Scottsman

An Arab Sheik was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery. But prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case a 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 as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW motorcycle, diamonds and a substantial sum of money.


A couple of days later, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery.


His doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood again.


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 phoned the Arab and asked him: "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me another motorcycle, diamonds & money... but you only gave me a thank-you card & a box of Quality Street chocolates."


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