What alternate responses are there to sneezing?

Are you an atheist, agnostic, non-theist, humanist, rationalist, secularist, Ex-(Christian, Muslim, Mormon, etc.) or just a non-believer in the ancient mythology of Earth-gods? And... you don't like to say or hear "Bless you" or god-forbid, "God bless you" when someone sneezes?

Fear not, the Arch Angel Michael, err... Michael has some alternate sneeze responses for you.

"Godzilla."

"You are so good looking." (From the 38th Seinfeld episode, "The Good Samaritan")

"Scat, scat, pussy cat, your tail is in the gravy." (After practicing this several times, it becomes easy and fast to say.)

"Scat (there) Tom, your tail is in the gravy."

"Choo, bezzoo."

"Dog bless you."

"Congratulations."

"Are you okay?"

"Can I go through your pockets?"

"Cover your mouth."

"Will you please cover your mouth."

"May your personal deity enhance your well-being."

"Hey... clean that up, will ya?"

"Need a tissue?"

"Science bless you."

"Long may you live."

"To your wishes."

"Curse you."

"Bless me."

"Excuse you."

"Please don't spit on me again."

"Go God go." (I believe this is from South Park, not sure.)

No response.

If someone says to you, "God bless you" ask them to take it back.

"May Jesus save you from that semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air and mucous."

"May the power of Jesus Christ rest within your soul." (In a sarcastic manner.)

"May Jesus land upon your desk and offer his blessings." (In a sarcastic manner.)

"Please keep your semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air and mucous to yourself."

"Please keep your potentially infectious expelled aerosol droplets to yourself."

"Bless you? You just expelled approximately 40,000 potentially infectious air and mucous droplets traveling at speeds of at least 95 miles per hour."

My last question I pose to anyone is this: Why don't people say, "God bless you" when others fart?

(Here are some search engine search words that people might use to find this article: What do atheists say when someone sneezes? Sneeze sayings. Bless you. God bless you. Sneeze responses.)
