A Sheikh was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to have some of his blood type stored in case the need arose.
As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out. Finally a Scotsman was located who had the same rare blood type. The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Sheikh.
After the surgery, the Sheikh sent the Scotsman, as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, a diamond necklace for his wife, and $100,000 US dollars.
A couple of days later, the Sheikh had to go through a corrective surgery procedure. Once again, his doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood.
After the second surgery, the Sheikh sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates. The Scotsman was shocked that the Sheikh did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated.
He phoned the Sheikh and asked him: "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me another BMW, diamonds and money, but you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates."
To this the Sheikh replied: "Aye laddie, but I now have Scottish blood in ma veins".
