That's a common myth , blood does appear blue in some veins and that is to do with the veins being closer to the surface of the skin and carrying darker blood and then the way light reflects off the skin and veins , and people with much darker skin their veins may look green or brown.
A ridiculous myth peddled by my mother in law every time we move house. Put butter on our cats paws to stop them getting lost. Hard pushed to decide which of the links to post here that disproves this particular crazy "fact".

My blood hasn't ever been blue when it's been exposed to oxygen.
It is not true that Yo mama is so ugly, Bob the Builder took one look at her and said "We can't fix that!"
It is not true that Yo mamma is so ugly that when she went to the zoo, the zookeeper said "go back in your cage"
I just wanted to clear up these misconceptions.

Obviously not. Yes, I did get the joke.
Yep. For instance, Reid. I don't know if that counts because it's a surname.
Only when the sound is "ee" and there are even exceptions to that!
