Have you ever noticed that....

...If you are about to sneeze, the act of pulling tissues out of the kleenex box is often enough to make the sneeze go away?

i always remember being told that if you look into a light, or anything bright for that matter, the sneeze goes away... eh, probably just an old wives tale

Actually, it can -make- you sneeze. It's because the nerves connected to your sinuses and your sight are very closely tied together.

I always sneeze when it's REALLY sunny outside.

So, do police officers get sneezed on a lot when they shine those damn lights in everyones faces?

Hehe.....if we got an army of ATers to run around and simultaneously shine a bright light in people's faces and offer them a kleenex the resulting cerebral gridlock would render them vegetative puppets. Leaving us free to [PinkyandtheBrain]TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!![/PinkyandtheBrain]

probably not, they just scare the sneezing out of you at that point

When I need to sneeze and need a little help, I'll look at a light. And if I've been indoors a while and wander outside and it's bright I'll sneeze twice. Not one, not three, and five is right out. Two shall be the number of sneezes and the number of sneezes shall be two.
