NRO - and young and dumb enough to not question.

Early on I wasn't old enough, had to forge Ma's name to donate blood on campus drives. Our Lieutenant said, "YOU WILL donate blood. I'm not saying anyone has to donate blood, don't get me wrong, but you WILL donate blood. Don't get me wrong." A classic, I thought.
