In my Navy days I didn't make much money. There were places that would pay a poor sailor $25 for a pint of blood. That was almost 2 weeks pay, and we gladly took the money. We called it "Vampire Liberty." While sitting in a class one day the guy next to me fainted and crashed to the floor. Turns out he had given blood three times in the past 5 weeks at three different centers. They actually had to give him plasma and banned him from giving more blood for money.

I do it for free now.
I'd still do it for $25 if someone would pay it. I ain't proud.
