Melody: Good afternoon, Gethsemane Lutheran Church. This is Melody. May I help you?
Guy: Hi Melody! Is Pat Nygaard there?
Melody: I don't believe she is.
Guy: Isn't there a blood drive at church today?
Melody: Yes there is, but I believe Pat Nygaard is still in the hospital.
Guy: Oh yeh, that's right.
Melody: Is there someone else you'd like to talk to?
Guy: Well, I forgot about the blood drive until a few minutes ago. I'd like to give blood...
--(at this point I'm thinking he's going to ask if there are any appointments left open so he can come in and give blood yet today)
Guy continues: but I just had a couple of beers so I was wondering if I could still come in and give blood.
Melody: Well, let me put you on hold and see what I can find out for you.
At this point I put the guy on hold and I just laugh. I truly believe that only in Wisconsin would someone have already had 2 (or more, perhaps?) beers by 4:30 in the afternoon and STILL be considerate enough to want to give blood!! This is hilarious!!! I don't know who the guy was, but thank you for making me laugh and making my day!
By the way, in case you're wondering, here's what the nurse said: if he's been a good historian (meaning, if he's been a good blood donor previously), tell him to drink some water on the way over and he should be fine. The smell of alcohol on his breath won't deter us from taking his blood. hehehehe So funny! What a great end to a day.
If you think this is as funny as I do (I'm still laughing so hard that I think I'm going to pee my pants), leave a comment and let me know.
Time to go home. I think I'm going to have a glass of wine (I hate beer).
Cheers,
Melody!

Hi Melody! Yes, that is just too funny! I have to agree! I need to tell my mom that (she's an avid donor - she'll love it!). Thank you for the chuckle. :) Love your blog! :)
