“The blessing doesn’t make sense anymore, when you sneezed in the old days, they thought you were dispelling evil spirits out of your body. So they were saying ‘God bless you,’ for getting rid of evil spirits. But today, what you’re doing doesn’t really make any sense.”
Cuckovich would deduct points from assignments if someone used the phrase. Cuckovich said the saying caused disruption during class and since it was an old practice, it is simply not needed. Hmmm…. I wonder, what are some other “old” practices or traditions people do which Cuckovich could argue against? Let’s get rid of the tooth fairy and Santa for kids! Oh, I know…no more wishing while you blow out your birthday candles! I’m putting an end to Halloween as well… that whole evil spirits thing again…
Any other traditions you can think of for Mr. Cuckovich to outlaw?
