A pint of AB + on its way to Texas?

Comedians are always up for performing at charity events. Giving up our precious time is a great way to contribute to a charity. Perhaps the second most precious thing we can contribute would be our blood.

Blood banks all over the country are low on the red stuff. It’s easy as pie to set up an appointment at your local donation center. (And so many comedians have off during the day– when there are almost always times available on weekdays– we are perfect for serial blood donation!)

The Male Half just gave up a pint of AB+. Took about 20 minutes or so. And the apple juice and cookies afterward are delightful. (The Female Half has a tendency to go ashen and fall over when asked to bleed on command. Something about low blood pressure. The last time she attempted to donate, she bled so slowly, the result was a half-filled, unusable bag of blood. They asked her not to come back any more! Pity, since she’s sitting of a nice reserve of the good stuff– O Neg!)

Hop online, make an appointment and give up a pint! The folks in Galveston will appreciate it.
