Blesh Ya

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..

PS
For some French readers, this was meant to be ironic ....ergo:
3: teaching French people sarcasm....
