Q7: Bless You!

HKK asked:

Why do we say 'bless u' when ppl sneeze?, and what is the proper thing to say when someone farts or burps? They are afterall,sounds emitted fr within.


~*~

Dear HKK,


It was stated in the medical literature that was discovered by Robinson Crusoe in the 18th century during his expedition through the Native Americans that there are slimes covering our brain inside the skull.



This discovery was so great during that time, a medical revolution was started amongst doctors and scientists on the importance of this so-called slime. They name it brain juice. Or the scientific name brainco-juitis.

Then one day, one of the scientists, Prof Sinka while doing his research on this slime, sneezes and the goo came out from his nose! The doctors and scientists surronding him, were startled. One of the doctors quickly exclaimed ' May God bless you on the losing the brain juice!' However, Prof Sinka did not die. Instead, he just wiped off the brain juice and continue with his research. But the rest were not convinced.

Few minutes later Prof Sinka sneezed again and the same thing happened. And again, the rest says, 'May God bless you on the losing the brain juice!' This goes on every few minutes for the next 5 hours.

By the end of the day, everyone were tired. So, whenever Prof Sinka sneeze, they just say 'Bless you!'..

News travels like wildfire. In the shortest time, everyone in town started to say 'Bless you' when they heard anyone sneezes.

And what is the proper things to say when people farts or burps? Below is the best thing to say:

1) Fart: Woi! Pink kor hamkaling fong phei!!!

2) Burp: Woi! Pink kor hamkaling sik si lei!!!

Hope we got your questions answered.

Does that mean, when the more we sneeze, the more juice flows out, the stupider we get?
