Sounds like the height of carelessness.
Maybe he went to a blood bank beforehand and made a withdrawal?

Worth noting that blood banks don't accept donations if it is delivered to them in a bucket.

All they do is ask questions...

The famous quote regarding the handbag from Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is: "To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution."

He certainly didn't say it was his own blood, and if he was carrying as much as he describes whilst playing football, the spill was almost inevitable.

Maybe he was the “blood boy” for a team of vampire🧛 football players?🤔

caught in a landslide no escape from reality

i really thought it was gonna be one of the chowderheads that pointed out my flawed reasoning
for a brief moment of insanity i was gonna go with, "two tankerloads of blood" but after my jackalopes talked me down from the ceiling i knew it had to be closer to the truth

i'm glad it was you that called me out

Exaggeration has its place.

Especially when it's obvious.

of all the eight or so concussions i've experienced the most hilarious was when i got my nose totally CRUSHED by my best friend's knee whilst playing football
the coach said i was unconscious for only 30 seconds or so but my nose was plastered over 80% of the real estate of my face
in pe classes way back then we all wore white tshirts and shorts and then they stood me up ...[text shortened]... id, "yep, it's broken"

i still remember the look on that girl's face when she puked up her lunch

My own head injuries were less dramatic, and I do appreciate that you shared that story and the other one.

As for the girl: what ever happened to people just passing out from the sight of blood? The puking came across as somewhat performative.

I think you hit it just right with "forty gallons of blood" for that story.

The moment seems to have changed, so maybe it would be a bad time to rephrase or explain that.
