Blood

I gave blood yesterday. I had never done that before. Here are some of the questions I had to answer:
What is your name?
How old are you?
What is your weight?
Have you ever had sex, even once, with anyone for drugs or money? If so was that person in Africa between 1986 and
1990?
I remember Sesame Street playing this sort of game, but they would usually end it with “which of these doesn’t belong?”. It’s fun to have a nurse sit you down in a carpet-walled room in a running bus (they call it a Bloodmobile, sounds vampirish) and ask you about your international sex habits and drug use.
