The Sneeze

I have loud sneezes. I'm always impressed by people who merely go, "Tchoo!" in a demure-like manner into a delicate lace hanky (even the SO does this and he's a guy.) Apparently it's "holding in the sneeze" which I don't understand. How is that healthy? Your snot projection should be wild and free (into a Kleenex or something.)

Anyway, my sneeze apparently is quite violent. Around 4 p.m., when I was perusing want ads on my computer, I had my windows open, the wind was blowing and I was sneezing like crazy. Some woman walking outside on the sidewalk said, "Bless you!"

As I was doing my 24th application, I came across this Web site which shows you "the correct way to sneeze." Instead of using your hands, which will transfer the virus, according to Dr. C, you should utilize the "sneeze in the crook of the elbow" technique. (It's illustrated above.)

You can use it in your next interview and impress the company with your "team player" altruism.
