A political speaker was annoyed by a man in the audience. The man coughed and sneezed and blew his nose almost constantly.

 

Finally the speaker was unable to stand it. He very politely said to the man: "You are having so much discomfort¹. If you go out to the open air,  it might be good for your cold."

 

The man replied: "I haven't any cold. I'm just allergic² to lies."
