Concerning Sneezing
Before I was Pope, I would say, “Bless You” after every time someone sneezed. It’s an expression that I used to say out of habit.
Now that I’m Pope, I need to reserve my blessings to only people that deserve and/or need it. I shouldn’t bless someone just because they sneezed. What kind of Pope would that make me?
I must not be wasteful by blessing everyone. If I did, my blessings will mean less. And there’s nothing worse than a cheap blessing. Just ask Ashlee Simpson.

Sir
You used to wear a habit?
Oh yeah, you said "out of habit."
Sorry.

You could always wear a disguise for those times you feel the need to give out a cheap blessing. I would suggest a disquise that you can keep on you at all times and quickly put on when needed.
You know, like a pair of Groucho Marx glasses - with the fake nose and the eyebrows. Put it on and people will not know you are the pope.
Gesundheit works wonders. Of course people would sneeze less around you if you wouldn't burn so much insence. Just a thought.

Joe, just noticed your old apartment is now up for sale on e-Bay. I know it has been awhile since you lived there and I am looking at maybe buying some property in Europe any words of wisdom about it since I can't go visit it first hand?
One way out of blessing people when they sneeze, simply ask them real quick after they sneeze "allergies?" then you shift the attention away from their blessing. An old slight of hand technique...
Just say: Anybody injured?
If people didn`t sniff so much snuff they wouldn`t sneeze so much.
Would you bless my blog please?
And our country.
Now is it really appropriate to veer so far from the topic to suggest hot girl-on-girl sister action to his Holiness? :::aaahhchoo!:::
You could just wait till they've sneezed once already, then ask them if they could try that again with their eyes open this time. If they try it, you could swiftly impose a blessing. If they don't, they aren't worthy.
Would you sneeze into my Kleenex? I`ll sell it at Ebay!
it isn't possible 4 anyone to sneeze with their eyes open.....ur being rather selfish with ur blessings...
You mean Ashlee Simpson doesn't make you want to la la?
In any case, since you are now conserving your blessings, I feel honored to have received one recently.
I know this is an old post, but I have to add this, as late as I am.
How should one respond should you sneeze? If you were to sneeze would it be appropriate for me to give you my blessing?
