The c**t had never been to church in his life. Of course anytime I was in his company I would hope he sneezed so I could bless him I used to work with a guy who played for Deadco in his youth and he said that he got a bollocking from one of the senior players for saying "bless you" when they sneezed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fart should be preceded by the big booming doom notes of the original Godzilla theme, especially the tiny innocuous ones. It is not unknown for people to sneeze and fart at the same time so you could get the roar and the tune simultaneously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 4 hours ago, BigBo10 said: I was always told it goes back to the Middle Ages and a religious person such as a monk or priest said bless you to people who sneezed because it was believed that was your soul trying to leave your body and a bless you absolved you so it stayed. My soul is shrunken, blackened husk of a thing now. It can leave if it wants. Let it make its own way in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I was in a pub one night, years back, and did a big, snotty sneeze down the wife's jacket sleeve. She did not say "bless," but "you" did make an appearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Short, but unpleasant tale within. You have been warned. Spoiler Took my maw to the cinema this week. She's quite old now, with the requisite health problems that age brings. During a particularly exciting scene where Jason Statham kicked the shit out of everyone, she sneezed and threw up an alarming amount of phlegm all over herself. "Bless you" was substituted for "Jesus Christ, are you alright?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
