Giving Blood -

I just got back from giving blood for the first time. I must say, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting at all. Nothing about the process bothered me at all. The prick on my finger was probably the worst part happy: Hell, you get free food afterwards.
The questions they ask beforehand are interesting. There were a bunch of questions about giving plasma/platelets/blood in England and France since 1996. I am not sure what that was about. Of course, there were questions about SARS, AIDS, drug usage, fucking dudes up the butt, and spending more than 72 hours in a jail facility happy:
I'm definitely going to keep doing this for the rest of my life. My dad has been doing since 1970 or so and gathered over 7 gallons worth of donated blood ed: When you figure you can only give 1 pint at a time with 8 weeks inbetween donations.
Do any of you guys give blood?
