COMEDIAN AND WRITER Jack Howards could never had foreseen the floodgates (sorry) he was going to open when he tweeted this:

Girls... You will never know the fear of needing to sneeze while you're peeing.

Enjoy that life.

Fast foward five hours…

Now everyone keeps tweeting me about sneezing while on their period. I've never regretted a tweet so much.

There were PLENTY of people lining up to set him straight.

You see Jack, honey, a woman’s period can last for 5-7 days. A sneeze at any time during that WEEK (yes, WEEK in all caps) can cause an unstoppable torrent.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Now, where’s that Blood Coming Out Of The Lift In The Shining GIF?

Oh yes, there it is.

Oh and hey, try sneezing after you’ve squeezed out a couple of kids, JACK.

To be fair to Jack, he has admitted his ignorance, and has now agreed to join forces against the treacherous sneeze.
