BLESS YOU! (originally recorded 8/18/21)
Why did we Start saying God Bless you?
Why do we STILL say it? Who else says it? What's the deal with all this forced politeness? How many cultures have a saying for sneezing?
Also, hip kid slang! We're getting older, do the kids still say the groovy terms of our youth? Probably not, so we might as well try to get to know a few of em!
No Politics! Nothing about the Wealthy (but still, to hell with em!), this week it's something all of us do! Sneezing! So don't worry, we won't boil your blood or tell you the wealthy are killing us all.
So sit back, relax and enjoy! And hey, if you sneeze, don't worry, it has nothing to do with the devil!
and Gesundheit!
