A Sneeze

by Frank Roche on October 6, 2007

Yesterday on the train the person next to me sneezed. I said, “God bless you,” then blushed.

The person sitting next to me was an Irish nun. “Thank you. He has,” she said.

    “Caught a light sneeze
    Caught a light breeze
    Caught a lightweight lightning seed.”

    PB, that’s a funny one. I hadn’t heard it…LOL. I don’t know why I was embarrassed, but it seemed like the wrong thing to say even though it just tumbles out. One time I said it to someone who took my head off with, ‘I don’t need any blessing from YOUR god…:” Ugh. I said, “F**k you. Does that work better?”

    Anon, thanks!

    Howard, I was embarrassed because I’m afraid I said it more as a throwaway line. But it was right.
