Why do I sometimes sneeze when I think about sex? Seem to remember a TV program in the sixties where a guy sneezed when he saw a good-looking woman.

Am not complaining. I enjoy sneezing. Have researched it on the net (maybe it’s time I got a life) and the best quote could come up was from Dr Mark Mahon, a San Francisco dentist who doubles as a stand-up:“Sneezing is better than sex. It’s a mini-orgasm. You keep your clothes on, you don’t get involved, you can do it in public, and when you’re done, perfect strangers bless you.”
