Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted September 26, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2019 This morning, a colleague sneezed. As is my custom, I held up two fingers, made a slight swirl with my hand (to represent the double helix), and "blessed" him by saying "Science save you." Momentarily, a volley of sneezes were emitted in rapid-fire succession. Whereupon my colleague lamented that science must not work. A third colleague happened by at that juncture and responded "god bless you". As if by some strange miracle of pure coincidence, the fit of expectorance immediately ceased and the afflicted colleague was restored to his former state of health. I now have all the proof I need that religion is true and jesus is real. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 As I walked from my pickup to my workshop this morning, I prayed that I wouldn't get trampled by a herd of elephants. Guess what....not an elephant to be seen. Isn't gawd great? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted September 26, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2019 I find a flaw in your hypothesis. Further testing is needed. For example, had you said "may the unicorn's horn be thrust upon you" I would have expected the sneezing to cease, followed by somewhat choking laughter.

Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted September 26, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2019 I just sneezed. It's a sign. 2 minutes ago, disillusioned said: This is a family site. Please. How dare you blaspheme the Great Pink Unicorn with your perverse imaginations. You need to be covered in the cuddly thoughts of the Unicorn and have the great horn thrust upon you. Glory to the unicorn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator florduh Posted September 27, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2019 IIRC it was once believed that demons could enter you at the moment of a sneeze. I guess asking for god's blessing is logical in context. When someone sneezes by me I simply ask if they're contagious. I don't give a fuck if they're blessed or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 After I sneeze I say "Take that." People tend to not say "God bless you" when they hear that. I don't know why. I can only figure they aren't so keen on blessing me when I've turned from innocent victim of a sneeze into some sort of perverted perpetrator of nasal ejaculation. mwc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
older Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 There are other ways to sneeze than just to go "ACHOO!" Next time, try, "HORSESHIT!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonobserver Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'm surprised that no one thought of responding with Jerry Seinfeld's, "You are SO good lookin'!" Am I THAT much older than everyone here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
