In 1968 one afternoon during basic training we were marched over to Red Cross on base and ‘ordered’ to volunteer to give blood. I did. We’d just been out all afternoon in the sun drilling and after I gave blood, I got a thimble full of juice. I asked for one more and the lady basically told me to get the f@ck out.
Last time I ever gave the Red Cross sh!t.
“Last time I ever gave the Red Cross sh!t.”
The only charity I give to is the Salvation Army. It’s the only one where the leadership isn’t getting high six-figure salaries and 90% or more of the money they raise actuially goes to help people.
