Hachooo!

When my Dad worked for IBM, a group of engineers and technicians from Germany and Japan came for training.

During the session, he sneezed and one of the resident technicians said, "Godbless you." A Japanese engineer seemed puzzled by that so he explained:

"In Germany where Walter is from, they say 'Gesundheit' when someone sneezes. Here we say 'Godbless you.' What do you say in Japan when someone sneezes?"

 Thinkinf for a moment, the Japanese engineer answered, "Have you caught a cold?"
