Why do people say "god bless you" when you sneeze but don't say anything when you cough, hiccup or burp?

There is actually a logical answer to this.

I asked Mom and she said something about sneezes are God's way of getting rid of germs which are the devil's work. I guess that was something she was told when she was a kid.

Or fart. We are, in fact, expelling toxic waste gases out of our body which is a good thing.

"For the most part, the various sneeze responses originated from ancient superstitions. Some people believed that a sneeze causes the soul to escape the body through the nose. Saying "bless you" would stop the devil from claiming the person's freed soul. Others believed the opposite: that evil spirits use the sneeze as an opportunity to enter a person's body. There was also the misconception that the heart momentarily stops during a sneeze (it doesn't), and that saying "bless you" was a way of welcoming the person back to life."

So then burps, hiccups and coughs don't cause the soul to escape or get rid of germs so who cares about those?

Actually, it's there for a reason and if it wasn't you'd have problems.

Which is why there should be a 'Bless You' after every act of flatulence.

The implication of that is that your soul is prepared to leave your body through your arse. Souls have, I presume, some sense of dignity.

same thing goes for exorcisms. the movie exorcist removed all the parts involving farts and flatulence at the final stages.

there was a reason why it was called captain howdy *doodie

Why are American Hard Gums called "Hard" even though they are soft?

We call them Gum Drops here. But they're call American Hard Gum in England. Might just be a brand name over there.

Oh okay. Well, sometimes you can get some that are hard, but most of them are soft. My Mother's favorite candy. The spiced ones anyway.
