You could always answer that ‘blessing’ thing with, “I didn’t sneeze!” – another favorite of mine is when people say, “I’ll pray for you” which usually invokes my utter astonishment, as in, “Really?  You’ll really get down on your knees and pray to your god to intervene for me?  Will this be at bedtime with all your other prayers or will I get a special slot? You know, I’d probably prefer you to drink to my health – that’s a kind of win win for us both, isn’t it? “. Or variations on the theme.

But genuinely, I find it really funny when someone offers to do magic for me.  It’s hard to hide the humor altogether, I’m sure my amusement shows, along with my efforts to smother a laugh.
