I may not be able to control my sneezes, but I think with a great deal of work and concentration, I can keep my mouth shut when necessary.

I once asked my wife, “Do you think that sneezing is an exercise?” 

Looking at me, she said rather soberly, “Well, it's an exercise on my
patience.” 

I am not sure if that was a positive answer or not. Although I am
skeptical, I did not want to ask and find out for certain. I exercised 
my right to keep my mouth shut. 

My wife and I went out to eat dinner the other night, and the restaurant
was rather crowded. Everything was going quite excellent, we ordered 
and the waitress went to process our order, and we enjoyed our time 
together. 

Then it happened. I did a very loud triple sneeze heard all through the
restaurant. 

“Thanks,” my wife said very quietly, “for all the attention our way.” 

I looked around, the people were looking at me, and I could not see
anyone smiling. I was afraid to smile back at anybody. I was tempted to 
explain what happened, but I thought otherwise. 

I then thought of what Solomon once said. “Even a fool, when he holdeth
his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a 
man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:28). 

I may not be able to control my sneezes, but I think with a great deal
of work and concentration, I can keep my mouth shut when necessary.
