Poll: Sneezes, Hiccups and Excuses.

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Christchurch Mail

Hay-fever season is descending upon us, in great gusts of pollen and bouts of sneezing. This got us talking (and sneezing) in the office. Does a sneeze or hiccup require an "excuse me"? What do you say when you sneeze or hiccup?

Sneezes, Hiccups and Excuses.

• Excuse me. All air that leaves the body requires forgiveness!
• Nothing, why ask forgiveness for an involuntary act?
• Depends on where you sneeze.
