OK, I get it. Everyone is different. Some people like blondes. Some people like freckles. Some people even like feet. (Oh the HORROR!)

But I've never - and I mean NEVER - heard of a guy who was into sneezes.

... So into them, in fact, that he was willing to go to the big house for his fetish.

But apparently there is such a man, and he lives in ... wait for it ... Texas. (Hooray for us!)

The Huntsville Item reports that someone - I'm looking at YOU, random pack of sticky-fingered hyperactive kindergarteners - ran off with two tons of powdered sugar from a local donut shop.
