Sorry, I know it's sick, but always makes me giggle... my bad A scientific comment: The major of Hiroshima would not have had time to utter this. The heat wave travels at light speed; only the air pressure wave that makes the houses collapse travels at a slower speed. Don't you hate it when people analyse your jokes? That said - just realised it's the 65th anniversary today, so apologies for insensitivity It's probablly a little bit less than light speed and decelerating all the time.

but fast enough to not give the mayor any time for reaction

Oh yes - been there, done that, seen... well, you don't want to know what I saw

ah, little do you know of the biography of Marx. he suffered from heavy colds regularly

Voted for the first option, but any time when a large amount of snot is released and I don't have the opportunity to grab a hankie can be defined as the worst time to sneeze.

While shaving...Believe me, once had a sudden sneeze when using one of those four blade machines.

You know what I hate?  When a sneeze is coming on and you really feel like you need to and it doesn't go off (ah, ah, ah ,ah, no choo) .

Not to mention you (guys and gals) can take the opportunity do certain internal exercises (hint they begin with a "K")...

While pissing.. yes... that's a total mess... but many of the list seems very dangerous if it happen to me... but funny if I can see somebody else in that situation...

Sneezing while riding a motercycle at speed wearing a full-face crash helmet.

Being a woman I have no problems of sneezing while peeing, and you men would not either if you sat down for it.

I voted for "While walking on a tightrope". My brother , who is ten years older than I am, had a collection of "Famous Last Words" pictures he had collected in the early 70s, when my family lived in Nottingham and Leeds; he says they were quite a fashion then amongst kids. One of them was an "Oh, I am going to sneeze" picture of a man on a tightrope. Others I remember were "Yippie, eggs for tea" from a man who found an eagle's nest or "It's kind a dark suddenly" from a worm above which a descending foot hovered.

One which isn't in the poll is:

"When you have a really snotty cold (and I'm talking about the sort of snotty cold where your lungs are like a blocked sink in a toffee factory) & you are in a room full of your relatives, where said sneeze catches you completely by surprise and without hankerchief"

One word:

Splat!
