Subject: RE: BS: Sneezing into a towel
The sailcloth wrapped head. Bloody brilliant, Rapaire!
One danger of that method of stifling a sneeze is that, if the sailcloth is sufficiently strong, there might be a mighty implosion, and you'll wind up with a head that looks like a tall, thin spike sticking out of your shoulders.
There's something highly therapeutic about a good sneeze, one that bends the walls out, blows bricks off the side of the building, causes plaster dust to sift down from the ceiling, and registers on the local seismograph.
It's sort of like hitting the "reset" button on your brain.
