Bless Me Not

Dear Everyone in the World:

Please stop saying "bless you" every time I sneeze.

First of all, I'm embarrassed that I sneezed.  Then you have to go and emphasize it.

Secondly, why are you saying it?  Simply because you'd heard others say it?  Was the name of your childhood doctor Pavlov?

To "bless me" after I sneeze is completely illogical.

The first time you said it, it was sort of interesting.

"Why say," I thought to myself, "that person is using a quaint medieval expression!"

However, after that, it just got to be incredibly annoying.  It continues to be annoying.

Please stop it.

Of course there is one exception.

If ever I hear you or anyone else commit audible flatulance, I will respond with "bless you".

Simply for comic effect.

Sincerely,

Yours Truly
