Sometime is is the stupidest littlest things you
miss...
I had the sneezes all day, not once have I heard
a French version of "bless you..." In the
great US of ours I willingly partook and came to enjoy the silly
ritual of the sneeze acknowledgment. Here one sneezes and
then................ Nothing, nada, oopsy doo dah....
As
whomever is my witness I will teach those philistines
the next time they'll hear a stranger sneeze they
will empathically acknowledge that brutal nasal
noise with a greeting of some kind..
Hurrah, I
finally know my mission and why I was sent to the old continent:
1:
stop the stupid either,2 3 4 or EVEN 5 greeting cheek kisses and turn
them into a good old-fashion US hug.
2: having Mr or Mrs John/Jane Doe
acknowledge a stranger's sneeze with a sincere yet to be
determined French version of a " I am with you on that one, be
well...." all right, even as an non believer I
must acknowledge "Bless you" is darn good,
damned!
I have so much work to do..

For some French
readers, this was meant to be ironic ....ergo:

people sarcasm....
