3. Yay but please be considerate about mucus projectiles.
That's why you have palms.

8. Only if you sneeze quietly
Some people sound like a 747 taking off when they sneeze. :7

She's rather her eyeballs pop out than make a noise during mass. :crazy:

14. LOL!!!!
I know what you mean, with the force and pwer of my own personal experience with sneexing I can't help but wonder what happens to the suppressed energy of "quiet sneezes", I figure it's got to escape somehow.

18. I remember in HS, a football player (a lineman)
would sneeze - you could tell that he would be the loudest sneezer - you can see it building ... then all of the sudden, he would close his eyes and let out this

20. ROFLMAO!!!!
Reminds me of my wife. Quite the production during build up, I could sell tickets, but the payoff is exactly the same and people would be so unimpressed, or fall off their chairs laughing at the disparity.

10. Sad to say, I'm a violent sneezer, and find it quite beyond my control.
Most often comes with little warning and pretty near impossible to stifle. But I do cover my face so as not to offend and/or contaminate.

12. Sneeze into the crook of your elbow, so germs don't get on yer hands...
...to be passed on via handshakes, computer use, etc.

Do cover your mouth, thank you.

22. I tried holding in a sneeze once....
My shoes flew right off of my feet. Across the room.

They hit the TV, which was coincidentally airing a "Tom & Jerry" cartoon, where things like that happen all of the time.

Who woulda thunk that would happen?
