As Cinjin points out, do you also say "Bless you" or "are you okay?" when someone farts?
To be clear, I'm not an anti-bless you peep (I really don't care what you say and I don't especially mind people who say something when I sneeze), I just don't understand the need to say anything at all and because of that, I tend not to say anything for any bodily function that doesn't obviously indicate some level of distress.

"Bless you sir, I don't want an evil spirit to sneak up your butthole. Your god's just douchy enough to label you a sodomite and send you to hell."
^^-- exactly my point, and my question: Why acknowledge one bodily function with a nicety, but ignore others?
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
