What do the people in other countries say when they sneeze?

I don't know about other countries, but I worked with an old fellow that said "WHISKEY!" when he sneezed.

When a Chinaman says "Achoo!" there'll be a guy across the room who answers, "What?"
When a Brit says "Achoo", the other guy will answer "At me, old boy?"
When a Frenchman says "Achoo" and whips out his handkerchief, the whole army drops their guns and raises both arms.

I don't know how to say it in their language, but in Iraq, it means " Look, there's a sand-booger on my sleeve!"

I got in tne bad habit in the Army of saying AH-Schit, embarassing in some circles.

I just sneeze, no vocalization added.
When I belch, however, I sometimes make it come out as "Bermuda," after which I'll thump my chest and say "Must be the onions!"

One old movie that I can't remember any more about, now, had as a comical side-play a man who was a "sneeze expert." He went on and on, labeling and demonstrating a seemingly endless variety of sneezes. Wish I could remember which old movie that was.
Snumph!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
KA-SHAOW!

"sneeze expert."
That would likely be Billy Gilbert.

That would likely be Billy Gilbert. I don't think so. He was the voice for Sneezy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but the fellow whom I remember as the sneeze expert in that other old (live-action) movie � as best I remember � was a bit player, not a star, whose name I didn't recognize. 'S not important, which is probably why it bugs me so.

Who ever it was it could have been my ex-bro in law. He had just got his new upper plate when he had to sneeze. He rared back, opened his mouth and his plate droped down sort of sealing off the opening.
He let it go and it sounded sort of like Ka-whannng!
Durn near blew his eardrums and popped his eye balls out.
That boy was in pain for a while.
