Anyone else do this now and then? I find it quite satisfying.

Of course, sometimes I am in the mood to just sneeze full out in the open air in as explosive a manner as possible, accompanying the massive expulsion of air and tiny bits of matter with an allmighty incoherent utterance that sounds rather like the sound a Cape buffalo might make if someone suddenly jammed a redhot poker up his...you know...   

GBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARPHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It really gets the cobwebs out. It will also cause cats to open their eyes up WIDE, go all "furry" and dash out of the room, and dachshunds to scramble to their feet and look about in a startled fashion before sighing wearily (and a bit reproachfully) and settling back down to dreamland. Miniature Poodles and Pomeranians may suffer a complete nervous collapse.

But there are other times when I prefer to have mercy on my little furry friends and just bury all that sound and fury in a nice soft towel. It's more harmonious in a way. It's kind of like interring a body comfortably in a secure and peaceful sarcophagus where you know it will remain safely, lo these many centuries, undisturbed and at rest.

So to this end I have a towel hanging conveniently on the shower rod, and when I feel a sneeze about to happen and I am near enough to reach it, I quickly raise both hands, place them behind the towel, and draw it toward my face, burying my face deep in the towel JUST in time to....

* (PHLOOOMPH!) * stifle the mighty sneeze smoothly and oh, so perfectly into the depths of that lovely towel...like wrapping Godzilla neatly up inside a huge padded tea cozy.

Ahhhhhhhhh...... Such satisfaction. It's even better if you have 2 or 3 sneezes coming in rapid succession. The towel will receive them all without prejudice and be none the worse for wear, and the dogs will sleep on tranquilly.

Can anyone else relate to this?
