Recruiting For New Blood
(I am drawing blood from donors at a blood drive.)
Donor: “I’ve never seen you here before.”
Me: “Well, yes, I am relatively new, but I’ve been involved with [Blood Bank] for a long time.”
Donor: “So, are you like a volunteer or something?”
Me: “No, I am an employee. I had to undergo several weeks of training for this.”
Donor: “But you look too young to be an employee!”
Me: “I assure you, I am a full employee.”
Donor: “But you’re only like fourteen!”
Me: “Actually, sir, I’m twenty, almost twenty-one.”
Donor: “No way!”
Me: “Let me put it this way. Would you really want a fourteen-year-old volunteer removing a fourteen-gauge needle from your arm and handling your blood?”
Donor: “Good point. Carry on.”
