What is your blood type?

Just curious, imagine the sample is skewed to the white conservative guy end of the scale

Now that you ask, I don't know... how do I find out?


My doc takes blood a couple of times a year to check my cholesterol/sugar but when I asked he doesn't know either.

I think he said that test isn't covered by insurance.

On my list of things to find out. However, I do have a sneaky suspicion that it's Broker's Gin...

I have thick skin--physicall thick skin.

Every time I've tried to give blood or I've had anesthetic, it has taken the nurse about a dozen catheters. My veins pop out like a pro wrestle, so finding them is not a problem. No, the catheters are not strong enough puncture my skin and end up breaking. I go home bruised and can't use my left are for a week. I've never successfully given blood.

I tried several years ago. They will not allow me to donate as I lived in Europe for too long. Because of the "mad cow" issue over there I am not allowed to donate, no matter how many years its been...

You better get that kryptonite out of your pocket, might burn your leg or something.

I have heard of tough skin, but that is ridiculous, you should have been a boxer.

You also can't give blood if you have been to the wrong countries recently, had Cancer(particularly melanoma), taken certain meds, gotten a tattoo, lot of exclusions

AB+ here. Second rarest type, IIRC.

Hey, I'm unique! Just like all the other 1,000,000,000,000,000 folks whose blood is AB+

Zman, if you need any, I can give you a pint of high test any time you like.

My wife and I are both AB+, did not know this until after we were married, what are the odds

Over 5 gallons donated.

It was really weird in Japan when girls would ask your blood type It seems to be something like an Astrological sign.

Astrological sign? That's what they say.

They're probably vampires.
