I don't say bless you to anyone, I just look at them and glare.

As for hiccups, my girlfriend swears that if you do some weird exercise with your diaphragm (or something along those lines), then the hiccups will stop. I'm pretty sure she was just trying to get me to hold my breath so I die and she can keep all my money and stuff.
Yup, just like a woman to try and off you.
