Went to give blood today.
While I was lying back ignoring the pain from the fat tube in my vein and chatting to the nurse she said 'What are you doing later, for the rest of the afternoon?' I thought my luck was in. 'I am going to finish the work I was doing on a stable roof then walk the dog' I said. 'Roof?' she said, 'Roof? No way can you go on a roof. You aren't even supposed to climb a ladder after you have given blood.'
Nice afternoon off. Just me and the dog.

Way too slow, or maybe they took too much blood. Your proper come back should have been, "Well then, I could really use your company to stop me from climbing up on that roof." Or, something to that effect.
LUCKY YOU! Too bad she was ugly. id you put a paper bag on her head?

They told me no smoking before or after giving blood so I went in there with a big chew. No problem.
