Hot chocolate, soda, blueberry muffin, coffee, and hard boiled egg have all been made to rocket through my sinuses either because I sneezed, or some unfriendly person forced me to laugh while I was imbibing one of said items mentioned.
I'd say it's a miracle as well.
Miracle that one lives through the experience.
*chuckle*

Nope.

I'm always amazed at what those planes of ours in WWII could take and still land.

Good evening Darksheare.

Thanks PE. It's too bad Billy Mitchell didn't live long enough to know about it. He was one wise man imo.

LOL!
The soda thing hurts though.
It feels like it's fizzing in your brain.
And your eyes water.
And usually, you're in this position because you were laughing to begin with.
And you can't stop either.
So now you're the entertainment, and it hurts.

Oh, don't do this while driving either.
I won't explain further.
Honest.

That little misadventure was due to uncontrolled sneeze at a MOST inopportune time.
And without warning.
And hurt it did, especially the next half hour of clearing the sinuses of semi-deviled egg.

Picture the scene.
I'm driving a COMPACT sized car (read as DEATHCAN) down the highway in a 65mph zone.
I have a can of Doc Pepper, and two passengers.
My two passengers are cutting up.
I keep warning them NOT to say anything when I was taking a sip.
Did I mention that to keep from being run down by semi's you have to do 73 MPH?
I'm taking a sip, on a long sweeping curve.
And one of the passengers cracks a rather funny joke.
Instantly I was aware of a few things.
First, my eyes were now bulging from their sockets.
Secondly, I was getting wet as I had soda spraying into my lap and onto my arm and shirt.
Thirdly, the car was on it's own.
Fourth, my eyes were beginning to water and I had carbonated foam spraying from nmy sinuses.
Once I got my rebelling face back under control, I had to get the car under control as well...
