The Blood Donor

Thanks to Ray M

An Arab Sheik was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery,

but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arises.

As the gentleman had a rare type of blood,

it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out.

Finally a Scotsman was located who had a similar blood type.

The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab.

After the surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman as appreciation for giving his blood,

a new BMW, diamonds & US dollars.

A couple of days later, once again, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery.

His doctor telephoned the Scotsman

who was more than happy to donate his blood again.

After the second surgery,

the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates.

The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab

did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated.

He phoned the Arab and asked him:

"I thought you would be generous again,

that you would give me a BMW, diamonds & money,

but you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street ."

To this the Arab replied:

"Aye laddie, but I now have Scottish blood in ma veins".

House on a Rock

Thanks to David H.

bought the house with his ex-wife Joan in 1961 for $3,600.

It had been empty for two decades.

Clingstone had been built by a distant cousin,

J.S. Lovering Wharton. Mr. Wharton worked with an artist,

William Trost Richards, to create a house

of picture windows with 23 rooms on three

stories radiating off a vast central hall.

The total cost of the construction, which was completed in 1905,

was $36,982.99.

An early sketch of the house.

Mr. Wood is as proud as any parent of

his house, and keeps a fat scrapbook

of photographs and newspaper clippings

that document its best moments.

Many of the historic photos he has were

provided by the company that insured

the house for its original owners.

The Newport Bridge is visible from the

windows of the Ping-Pong room,

to the left of the fireplace.

The house is maintained by an ingenious method:

the Clingstone "work weekend".

Held every year around Memorial Day,

it brings 70 or so friends and Clingstone lovers together

to tackle jobs like washing all 65 of the windows.

Anne Tait, who is married to Mr. Wood's son Dan,

refinished the kitchen floor on one of her first "work weekends".

There are 10 bedrooms at Clingstone,

all with indecently beautiful views.

The dining room table seats 14.

Refinishing the chairs is a task on the list

for a future "work weekend".

Sign by the ladder that leads to the roof reads:

No entry after three drinks or 86 years of age.

"It used to say 80 but we had a guy on a

'work weekend' who was 84, so I changed it,"

said Mr. Wood, ever the realist.

You can be different and still be friends

Thanks to Bill S.
