<waving @ NJ Femmie -

Funny - this topic came up during a perspicacity conversation I was having with a group of folks just the other day.

A Butch (veeeerrrrry handsome I may add) claimed hys grandmother informed hym the heartbeat is some how effected while sneezing, hence, the purpose of God Bless You. (I simply adore cerebral stimulation.)


Has anyone else heard of other 'scientific' () explanations?
"God Bless You", directly after a sneeze, has slurred into "Ga Blesh Ya" in my vicinity. Is that just a New York speed talking accent thingey?
