Pink Blood and Straight Jackets

I went in for my Pre-Op visit today.
They asked me many questions and a tall, skinny blond nurse drew a vial of my blood.

"Wow. You have really light red blood!" Skinny Blond Nurse says, flicking a finger against the full vial. "It looks almost Pink!"

"Sweet!" Says I. "Pink ROCKS!"

Skinny Blond Nurse shoots me a strange look; from the corner of my eye I spy the Administrative Nurse covertly check something on my chart.

"Whatchu markin' down there?" I say, leaning forward to peer at her scribbles on my chart.

"Oh just...stuff." She says, sliding a paper over her notes, her face assuming the careful blank look of 'don't agitate the crazy patient'.

Hmm.

I'd better not wake up post surgery buckled in a straight jacket, is all I'm saying...

You should not tell them that you are from outer space. Keep our pink blood a secret.
