Gesundheit.

I don’t get it?

Bless you . . .

Smoot!

Husband: “Now I gotta repaint that wall!”

Gesundheit should work unless he’s wanting her to drop dead.

You’re sooo good looking!

Growing up one of the “Old Wive’s Tales” I read was that a sneeze was your soul trying to escape and the blessing was to protect your soul from the Devil. Struck me as funny even as a kid.

Old Fred: “Oh, bless you!”

Ringo: “Should I sneeze?”

(Yellow Submarine)

Gudentite-German Virgin

Can’t remember where I saw it but some one once said it is the sneezer who should bless all the people near them for their protection.

As a rule, it’s a bad idea for a theist and an atheist to marry. They’re liable to have different ideas of what marriage means.

Good news: many atheists still say bless you! OTOH, you could go with Seinfeld and say “You’re so pretty.”
