Sternutation / What's your excuse?

    I just had a prolonged bout of sneezing (sternutation). There must be some other ways to describe a lot of sneezing . Are there any other terms to describe it.

    Ok so there are a load of causes such as
    sunshine, exercise, allergies , fall in temperature, breeze and many more.

    What's your excuse? Are you a "singler or a serial one. If you don't have a hanky would you use your sleeve or something else. Evidence! Come clean

    And if you don't know that then answer this.
    Are you one of those who in the act of sternation gives a barely audible squeak or are you one of those who will hold nothing back and explode in full throttle..or someone somewhere in between.

    There may be many causes but how many types of "sneezer" are there really out there.

    Which one are you ..... What's your excuse

    It's hard to beat a good bareback sneeze (no hanky), very liberating, snot flying everywhere, people diving out of your way.






    AAAAHH-
    CHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    One shot here and I am done, sounds more like I am snickering more than anything else.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I have avert high pitches sneeze, my wife says its deafening and it actually leaves a ringing in my own ears. I sneeze multiple times, I once sneezed 3 or 4 times a minute for about an hour, it got tiresome after about 5 minutes.

    I can feel your pain but remember each sneeze can send 100,000 germs into
    the air so he did somebody a favour, maybe

    I sneeze into my elbow to spare the suffering of others and it also helps muffle my otherwise bellowing grunts. I just hate the way he takes pleasure in denying me mine. bastard.

    me:ashooo
    me:ashoo
    him:go on, wait for it, here is comes
    me: baastid.

    Nerves innervating the levator ani are the longest of the body. This muscle has connection with the nose and eyes.
    Pull an ass hair, you'll see, you'll cry... you might sneeze as well :pac:

    Bastard. There is nothing worse than being thwarted from you final and most satisfying sneeze by some gob****e going 'bless you' 'bless you' for the first two. Wait till I'm done first mofo!!
