Why is it that when nurses prepare to stick a needle in your arm they always say ‘just a small scratch’? It’s not a scratch it’s a prick. Why don’t they say ‘just a small prick’ and have a good laugh at the same time?
They could even say, "Just a small prick and it will soon be over," but they might get thier clients upset! Lots of opportunity for the old double entendre! (BTW, here in the USA, they say "You'll feel a small pinch." Substitute the real sensation into that sentence, and I will answer "The heck I will!"). Better let it go at that or they'll move this one to the Over 18 section!

I certainly would join you in encouraging all folks eligible to donate to do so at least once a year.
