Assignment 13 - Jacquelyn Engel

On average a person sneezes about four times a day. 98% of the time I see someone sneeze, they sneeze into their hands. I’m disgusted. Is it that hard to sneeze into your arm? In order to fix this, I’ve conjured up an idea that will quickly change this habit. Every time someone sneezes into their hands, they will have to submerge their hands in boiling water. This solution could actually be more effective than expected. It would be such a painful experience that people would immediately stop sneezing into their hands because they don’t want to relive it. Also another benefit from this idea, all the nasty germs and saliva will be eliminated due to the scorching hot water. Now, I realize that it would be difficult to watch every single person, so I propose a program that everyone has to enroll in at least once in their lifetime. This can efficiently ensure that all people learn how to sneeze properly. It’s not rocket science; it’s just common sense of Behavior 101, but unfortunately, not everyone knows that, so they have left me with no other options.
