This is something that I often do, out of courtesy for those around me:

Described in a BMJ Case Report under the rather distressing title "Snap, crackle, and pop: when sneezing leads to crackling in the neck", the man showed up in a hospital emergency department after an "achoo" had gone wrong. The patient had pinched his nose and held his mouth closed when he sneezed, experiencing a "popping sensation" in his neck.

Few years ago I bought one of those big snow blowers. It hasn't snowed much since then and I've hardly had use for it. This guy is guaranteeing it will never snow in his neighborhood again!

The country has been a world capital of cosmetic surgery even during non-pandemic times. The industry is estimated to be worth about $10.7 billion in 2020, up 9.2% year-on-year, and is expected to hover around $11.8 billion this year, according to Gangnam Unni, the country’s largest online cosmetic surgery platform.

Cosmetic surgeons say patients are interested in all parts of the face: those that can be easily hidden under masks, such as the nose and lips, as well as those that face coverings don’t conceal, which some consider the criteria of beauty in the coronavirus era.

“Both surgical and non-surgical inquiries about eyes, eyebrows, nose bridge and foreheads - the only visible parts - certainly increased,” said Park Cheol-woo, a surgeon at WooAhIn Plastic Surgery Clinic, who was in charge of Ryu’s operation.

Kind of a larger version of Marie's sculpture. One of my favorite Everybody Loves Raymond episodes.

Short version

Full episode, less the commercials
