someone in my office sneezed, I said "bless you". They sneezed again, ditto... I only say it twice. They sneezed a third time and I swear, I'm pretty damn sure the sneezer said "bless you".

Oh yeah, I'm not gonna post anything of quality today, so suck it up.

i have an inner battle in this situation, sorta related

since i was brought up with values based on the christian religion, i feel i should say "god bless you", but i don't believe in god. and i'm not sure saying bless you really has any meaning/ value since i don't believe in god

should i say, good luck, you'll probably do it again, kinda fun wasn't it, etc.

no value thread here , ever, sorry, but i'm bored

Give them a heart warming chest punch..... Then say "cut the **** you infectious asshole". Then stare them down until they leave. Works for me everytime......

I tell them to simmer

Try sneezing with your mouth closed....

I thought "bless you" started for pagan reasons, something about releasing evil spirits. So, uhh, this really has nothing to do with "god".

If I'm feeling evil, before they sneeze a second time, I say, "grapefruit". It's such an strange thing to say that they won't sneeze and walk around for hours with a half sneeze up their nose :devil:

Just do the German thing - say "gesundheit" to 'em. It means "health"

Sorta like saying "cheers" when drinking...........

Or you could say, "Ich hasse Juden." Rolls of your tongue in german.




I'm kiding, don't say that :devil:

I tried it. You're right. Rolls right off. Gets smoother the more you say it. I like it. Wonder what it means........ :evil:

[Skookum]

Is there something in German you say when someone farts?

 

[Megan Black]

Ya. Kannst du bitte dein Arschloch schliessen?

Danke.

Cool this might come in handy if i wander into an Oktoberfest celebration.

 

[Arm On Fire]

i presumed the gusendheit, was german for god bless you

not sure if the pagan thing is true, i dunno

i'll give the grapefruit thing a try

the ich hasse jueden i'm guessing is something bad about god

Also works at a gay bar, apparently :devil:

Warn your buddy, "Kannst du bitte dein Arschloch schliessen."

We walked into a pharmacy in Koblenz and there was a big "Gesundheit" sign above one of the shelves. All sorts of cold medicine, cough drops, etc..... It was kind of odd.

Not God - his "chosen" (sic) people. Ever see the SouthPark episode w/ Cartman running around chanting this?

Twice is plenty - I would feel pretty stupid hearing "bless you" 15 times in a row after some allergy fit - I like jdcamb's suggestion best.

 

[douglas]

?

Ich hasse Juden = I hate jews

Kannst du bitte dein Arschloch schliessen = can you please shut your arsehole

Nice job, Reverend Killjoy............... :mumble:

Pfffffffffffffffftttttttttttt


Halt dein verdammtes Maul!

 

[Megan Black]

Got one for ya, see if you can figure out how this translates into a well known English idiom:

Diesem Besserwisser werde ich schon die Fluetentoene beibringen!

 

[Tenchiro]

I always think I syould say something when someone sneezes, but I cna't bring myself to bless anyone...

That made me laugh. The SouthPark episode definitely comes to mind.
