Watching cartoons when I was a kid I always wondered why, when a character was about to sneeze, they (or another character) would hold their index finger up underneath their nose. I remember thinking how that would be a terrible way to contain the sneeze. Snot and gunk and germs would fly everywhere! However, I recently learned that the finger under the nose gag was not meant to block the sneeze, but to apply pressure to the top lip. By doing so, one can actually prevent the sneeze from ever happening at all. I've tried this trick a few times since discovering the purpose behind it, and although it works, I find it hilarious that I've become a living caricature of the silly shows I used to watch.

Also used in Hungary. My great grandfather always played games with his friends with those cards. It's mostly trick-taking games but there are some different ones that aren't played with a 52 card deck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_playing_cards I have my great-grandfathers deck. Its a 36 card deck. Pre-WWII Piatnik.

By doing so, one can actually prevent the sneeze from ever happening at all. Another trick to cutting sneezes off at the pass, at least in our family's experience, is to say "Bless you" during the wind-up. I don't know why, but this usually defuses the sneeze (and leaves the sneezer amusingly frustrated).

You can get a similar effect by pressing your tongue upward into the roof of your mouth right under your sinus cavity just behind your front teeth

Or you can just keep your eyes open and you won't sneeze?

All the Friends episodes were titled "The one with _____". I just reread the Far Side collection Wiener Dog Art, and it has an index in which all the letters are empty except for T, which every comic in the book described as "The one about ____". Gary Larson did it first. Neat!

Driving home I passed a CVS and realized I've never once questioned what that was an acronym of. It doesn't stand for anything anymore but it was originally "Consumer Value Stores".
