I was working in the yard when I heard the sound of a man make a cough-sneeze-clear-throat-scream-because-I-was-just-stabbed-between-the-shoulder-blades-by-my-crazy-wife noise. I've never heard a sound like that, but I found myself making quick steps toward my house. Since I was in a portion of our yard that was sort of "echo-y," I was unable to determine the direction from which it came. All I knew is that with Mrs. Neighbor on the left and Mrs. Other Neighbor on the right, I needed to find shelter.
Alas, my worries were unjustified. For just as I made it to the driveway, the sound was heard again. And this time, I watched in amazement as it came from Mr. Other Neighbor's body - his fully awake, alert, and presumably whole and uninjured body. Pollen must really be getting him down.

It could have been Gary's sneeze you heard. The man can produce a loud and dramatic sneeze sound.
