    Maybe you can’t sneeze and stay asleep. But I have been awakened by a sneeze.

    The cure for koumpounophobia is getting your junk caught in your zipper just once.

    Sneezing may not be possible, but passing gas is another story entirely.

    Years ago, I read that an electric eel can also discharge a shock capable of killing divers from 20 feet away.

    Enough electricity to light up 10 electric bulbs? Watts? Volts? Amps? Joules? For an instant? For a few seconds? Incandescents? LEDs? CFLs? THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

    I did cultivate a fear of button Levi’s when I was a kid. Too slow for an emergency pee run.

    The NEED to sneeze will wake you up enough to do so. You may not even remember so the net effect is the same.

    Which is why electric eels aren’t afraid of the dark…

    So I guess I have koumpoundomania? Or koumpoundophilia? I really like buttons, but those definitely sound made-up…

    What is the sense of giving us ancient greek translations of some irrelevant mindsets or psychotic illnesses? Or do I simply have Lirophobia?
