The Sneeze

I was riding the train to school. I was on the upper deck seated sideways. A girl got on the train and sat in a seat on the lower level across from me so I could see her from her right side.

She was about 25, 5'-5" tall, 120lbs. She had short dyed red hair that was straight. She was wearing a black turtle neck sweater, black mini skirt, black blazer, black pantyhose, and black shoes with the chunky heels. She was also wearing wire rimmed sunglasses with the bluish mirrored lenses. She sat listening to her walkman until the train came to the next to the last stop. As the train came to a stop she made a fist with her right hand. She placed it in front of her mouth and under her nose. She bent forward at the waist almost until she was doubled over, with just the slightest head bob - "M" as she held the vast majority of the force of the sneeze in. She straightened back up into her seat - "choo" in a medium pitch with just a hint of resonance as she bled off what was left off the force of the sneeze. She looked around to see if anybody was looking at her. Then she went back to listening to her walkman.

I was at the dentist the other day. I was getting my instructions from the dentist when from around the corner I heard "Shuh". When I could finally get around the corner to see who had sneezed, I saw two women standing on either side of the reception counter. One was in her fifties and the other about forty. I hoped it was the younger woman and I hoped she would sneeze again so that I could see her. The younger woman was about 5' 7", 120 lbs with short blond wavy hair and blue eyes. She was wearing blue hospital scrubs and white tennis shoes. As she was talking to the older lady behind the counter, she slowly started to turn to her left (towards me). Her upper lip started to curl up and her eyes started to close as the older lady started to talk. She continued turning away and made a fist with her left hand. As her eyes closed completely and her mouth opened, she brought her left fist up under her nose and over her mouth. "Kshuh" she sneezed at a conversational volume and tone as her head bobbed ever so slightly. "bless you" the older lady said. "Thank you" the younger woman said and went back to their conversation as if nothing had happened.
you can see it can be one sneeze and still be interesting. Just be as descriptive as possible so that everyone can picture what you saw.

Want ads

This was an idea that I just had, a place to request things that you've seen and maybe somebody else has.

My two for this issue are Does anybody have the episode of ER where this redheaded photographer comes into the hospital because she is allergic to cats?

Does anybody have a copy of the Clinton - Dole debate? I'm told that about two minutes into it a woman in the front sneezes.

The list

I've not started compiling the TV list but I should have it for the August issue. If you know of any movies that I have missed or have any TV listings to add please send them to me and I will publish them in the August issue.

Well, that's about it for the July issue. I invite your comments, questions, suggestions on how to make it better. Also send in your first sneeze stories, links, texts, eyewitness accounts, want ads, additions to the movie and TV lists, and descriptions of your "ultimate sneeze".

Hoping for bright sun and high pollen counts,
