It's a hang-over from the days of bubonic plague, innit...

Because at the end of the day, no one wants to see satan get into anyones head in the split second your eyes are shut and mucus is propelled from your face at nearly on hundered miles an hour.

Simples.

Nice to know some civil parts of the middle ages still exisit.

My middle age has been very civil to date - you bounder!

I bless myself. It saves time.

I always say it to peeps I know.

I nearly always say it to strangers but only if they are cute and female... I'm guessing you won't be too put out at scoring 0 from 2 in my requirements.

Ah its meant to release the evil spirits out of you. The rules are that if you say thank you then you keep the demon inside of you.

So you sneeze the spirit has left, bless you, your now pure again and spirit free. Its something like that anyway.

 

[Kirstie]

Judging by the number of times I've sneezed today I must be bad to the bone!

I thought it stemmed from the old wives tale / scientifically proven fact (delete where appropriate) that when you sneeze your heart actually stops for a split second, and so you sort of die for a while

Or am I talking complete and utter nonsence as usual?



quite possibly the latter

 

[Norm]

Or am I talking complete and utter nonsence as usual?

Why would you even ask?

 

[Lisa21]

Why would you even ask?

hey, I live in hope okay

 

[tdr1nka]

Bless you.

There's me thinking it was because sneezing was a symptom of the plague...(ring a ring o' roses) and according to one of our IT trainers saying thank you kills a fairy. ..............
