Norwegian Blood


An Arab Sheik was admitted to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery the doctors needed to find a supply of  his rareblood type in case the need
arose.  However, it couldn't be found locally, so the call went out to all the states. Finally, in Westby, Wisconsin, a Norwegian was located who had the right blood type. The
Norwegian, whose name was Ole, willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent Ole, as appreciation for giving his  blood, a new BMW, a pile of diamonds & several million U.S. dollars.

Many days later, once again the Arab had to go through some corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned Ole who was more than happy to donate hisblood again. After the second surgery, the Arab sent Ole a thank-you card & five  pounds of lutefisk. Ole was shocked that this time the Arab did not reciprocate with a new car, diamonds & money. He phoned the Arab & said, 'I thought dat you vould be yenerous  again,  & dat you vould give me anudder BMdubleU an diamonds & money. But you only gave me a tank-you card and some lutefisk!

'To this the Arab replied, 'Ya, but now I haf Norvegian blood in my veins  so I gotta tink tvice before I spend my money.'
