ringsfan02 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 It hasn't been cold yet, but decided to get my furnace looked at just before Thanksgiving.I'd never met the repairman before, he was new to town. He turned out to be a tall, moustached man, mid 40's. fairly muscular. I took him downstairs and showed him the furnace. He started examining it while we were engaged in small talk about how he liked the town and such, when suddenly, his breath started to hitch in the middle of what he was saying, and his face went into the pre-sneeze look. Then he pinched his long, fairly large nose between his thumb and fourth finger. I thought this was sure to put a halt to the sneeze, but to my surprise it didn't. He took a deep breath and sneezed a medium size sneeze with a three syllable sound! Haaachiiiishhaaaa! Just as I was about to bless him, he wound up for another, again pinching his nose. Haaachiiishaaa! It was slightly less forceful than the first. When I was fairly sure there wasn't another on the way, I blessed him. "Thanks," he said. Excuse me."He took out his handkerchief. "Damn, I hate sudden sneezes." Must be the furnace dust" he remarked. he looked concerned as he prepared to wipe his nose. "Hope I didn't get any on you." He said. I laughed and told him no, I'd stayed out of range. No more sneezes the rest of the time, but what a nice encounter that was! Link to comment
