Blood Donation Box Checking

We were telling funny family stories the other day and it came up that Mike was totally embarrassed once when he went to donate blood. It was right after we got married and right before he went to Africa with me and instead of checking the box that said "I've been to Africa." He had to check the box that said something like, "Have you had sexual contact with someone who has lived in Africa, a sex worker, etc." He wanted to clarify with the technician, but it just never came up. We were all laughing and my little sister Kati said she had an even better story.

She was filling out the same paperwork and missed that particular box so the lady had to read it out loud. "Have you ever had sexual contact with anyone that has lived in Africa, a sex worker, etc." Kati wasn't really listening and said very matter, "Yes." and then "My sister." The lady's face looked shocked and then said, "maybe I should ask that again...."

Kati just thought she'd said "any contact with someone who has lived in Africa" and thought of me. We all laughed so hard last night about the mix up and what the blood donation worker must have thought.
