Title: Re: [UC] (no subject)

Recent tattoos or piercing disqualify you from giving blood. If you are a woman, you must not have ever had “relations” with a man who has had relations with another man or you are not able to give, either.  We tried to organize a staff blood drive here and gave up after realizing that - between the travel and food restrictions, body art and relationship questions - restaurant staff are not the most “qualified” to donate blood.

Liz,
 
You forgot to mention that guys must must be heterosexual!
 
 
Perhaps you could use some of your persuasiveness to get the Red Cross to lift the ban against gay men donating blood.
