WOODBURY, New York - A New York man is donating his 320th pint (half-a-liter) of blood this week, making him one of two people in the U.S. who has given 40 gallons.
Seventy-five-year-old Al Fischer of Massapequa plans to reach the milestone Tuesday, 58 years after he started giving blood.
According to a New York Blood Center official, only 83-year-old Maurice Wood has donated more blood than Fischer. Wood is a retired railroad inspector from St. Louis.

An obviously overpaid railroad pensioner. Probably a feather-bedder. When working people can afford to donate their blood, and not have to sell it, you know something is amiss. It's just not right. :eek: ;)

I have 36 donations under my belt, so if I never go to India again (this makes you ineligible for a year in Canada, 6 months in the US) and if I live past 109, I'll beat this guy

Can't wait.

oh, he's still alive, though ....

I am too greedy to donate my blood.

Sorry, if that's needed. Just my twisted way of paying your worthy post a compliment. You know what they say about romantics when they go bad. Same for patriots.
