But you have to go to one of the ones with the good cookies.  Like the one in
the bottom of the Citicorp building in Manhattan.  No surprise there - John
Reid, the chair of Citicorp, is also the New York blood bank chair.  Its a
money thing.

But what I really used to like was donating blood in Israel back in the early
'80s.  Now in a country at war, blood donation is strictly voluntary -
everyone volunteers.  But none of that cissy orange juice afterwards.  How
about a stiff shot of Stock  brandy ... pass over the araq ... bzzz....

Only saw one guy pass out.  We all laughed at him, and took him to his room.

I guess it was a different time and a different place.  I wonder if you are
still not allowed to dive near the harbor in Eilat?  They used to keep
letting off depth charges, to kill off any divers.

Safe Diving,
