If I sneeze one more time, I swear that I'll blast the rest of my brains out through my nostrils

[Orrex]

My sneezes could be described as prodigious. If you were to rig up a wind farm on the desk in front of me, I could power most of Pittsburgh for the week following a good head-cold.

I just sneezed about eight times in 45 seconds, and I'm all of a sudden exhausted. Each one is like shouting at the top of your lungs while doing fifty situps and having your head squeezed in a juicer.

1. I have a PERFECT story for you at this moment!

Read the whole thing - it's hilarious - but the last sentence is just for you!

3. Wow--I'd never read that

Remarkably close to what I'm feeling right now. I guess that puts me in good company, at least!

5. Well don't hold it in... then you'll blast it out the top of your head.

15. Good point--then I'd have to start wearing a hat

And I just don't look good in hats.

7. When you lungs are hanging out of your nose...

...seek medical help as soon a convienent.

:hi:









So, it is allergies?

11. Keep your medical advice to yourself, Dr. Quack

:P

For good or ill, it's a cold, and it's zapped the whole family. Happily, it doesn't appear to be too long-lasting, so perhaps I'll be able to reinsert my brains in a few days.

8. I hear yah

Blasted summer cold. I swear my nostrils feel like I've been wiping my nose with sandpaper. Aarrrgggghhh!

14. I took a Dremel to mine

With one of those blunt, cone-shaped grinding stones. Works wonders!

9. I have very bad sneeze attacks

I mean ones that will go on for over 20 minutes.....you are right about the exhaustion - the only relief I get is by sleeping. I don't know what all sets me off (I know circulating air will do it) but the attacks are bad enough that I take an antihistamine daily as soon as I get up.

13. Doesn't really seem to be an evolutionary advantage

You'd think that some predator species would have come up with a way to induce uncontrollable sneezing, so that they can just pick off the exhausted and delicious humans one by one at their convenience.

10. Meh.

I never sneeze less than three times in a row (its a weird family trait apparantly) and 8 is easily within range for me..and they aren't namby-pamby little kerchoos either. In fact people have been known to duck and cover when they hear me winding up....:D
Funny thing is they don't tire me. Guess I'm just good at sneezing.....:rofl:

[Orrex]

12. Well aren't you special!

Actually, you have my sympathies.

I'm usually good for two sneezes at a go, after which I've blasted clear a cone-shaped swath of destruction in front of me. It's rare that I pull the hat trick with a third sneeze. Anyway, I like to have a little down time after each sneeze; a quick eight in a row is most unusual, and it really wipes me out. Also, at the time of posting, I was afraid of waking my family. And the neighbors.


We'll see what today holds.

16. Post it on YouTube!

Sounds wicked cool!

17. I am also a massive sneezer. My family ducks and runs too

and I don't dare sneeze on my husband's left side or he will yell...he is deaf in the other ear and therefore hyper sensitive in the left ear.

18. ...the rest of your brains!!!
