Mark and I have a banter going on about donating blood. But, whatever. Don't matter.

I have been a regular donor for roughly, 15 years now and have donated - oh, I dunno. It seems like 100 gallons or so. They always ask if I have ever had sex "even once" with another male since 1977. Even though it has only been two months since the last visit, they don't ask "since your last visit." Note that I am always proud to announce, "NO!".

Were it the other way around, were I getting blood instead of giving, I would be quite hesitant about getting blood from a butt-fucker. I mean, besides not being a normal practice, it just seems - well - disgusting.
