I am beginning to suspect that my doctor is making blood sausages and selling them on the black market. I am beginning to suspect that she is making the sausages using my blood. I'm going to ask for a cut of the profits and also a jelly bean. Doctors are supposed to hand over a jelly bean every time they come anywhere near me with a needle. I made a solemn vow, when I was four, that I would sit still and be jabbed in exchange for a jelly bean. I don't remember breaking my end of the deal. I want my jelly bean.

I had blood taken the other day and all I got was a smirk for not looking and a bruised arm. Nobody mentioned jelly beans.
The injustice. I mean, really.

When you give blood down at the Red Cross, they're all "Oh, have a chocolate! and a box of sultanas! and a juice! and some crackers! and some cheese! and would you like a sticker? Bottle of water? Another juice? More chocolate?"

Stand up for your rights and demand simple sugars! No one is too old to love jelly beans. Maybe they could really stretch it and offer a cuppa and a biccie too.

Mwa ha ha!

I take blood from patients all the time and I never offer jelly beans!

Oh, the humanity...

It is a sacred pact between humans and doctors, the jelly bean for jabbing pact, there will be dire consequences for us all.
