They had a blood drive at my company yesterday. So I thought I'd go over and donate. Unfortunatley I was the last person there, and I started reading their exclusion questionaire. There's a question "Please list the countries, you've visited in the past 12 months" For me that was kind of hard, as it included China, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore, plus the airport in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

I ended up giving the aid a whole geography lesson to see if I'm a disqualified from a Malaria prone, SARS prone, Bird Flu, Mad Cow, or other communicable disease harboring locale. Luckily after all that I passed. So I got my cookies and juice after all.
