Positing apposite opposites

We all know many pairings of diametric opposites: night and day, up and down, Paris and Ormskirk. This is the thread where we reveal less well known pairs of opposites, or ask others to identify the opposite of some item.

For example, I know the opposite of masturbation is tatting a doily, but what is the opposite of flatulence? Crapulence?

Many people subscribe to the notion that life and death are opposites. Really? Our friend Rex has been dead for years yet he still posts now and then. How can that be? Could it be that some things we consider to be opposite; aren't? At this very moment I am either drunk or sober but I can't tell which. I think we perhaps "presume too much". I mean, really, we don't know if Alice wore underware in Wonderland or not.

I DO know the difference between in and out. My third wife taught me.

To return to the topic: What is the opposite of sneeze?

I had a marvelous dichotomy that my mother passed on to me but I left it in the attic and the mice chewed it up. It had something to do with standing at the meeting of two eternities, the past and the future or something.

Damn mice.

I DO know about Heaven and Hell, though.

I had a girlfriend who loved to pleasure me but she had very sharp teeth and...

"Zen?"

Yes?

"Shut the fuck up."

OK.

What is the opposite of sneeze?

Choke.

Don't mention it. Happy to oblige.

Within the confines of this thread, could you just change your name to Purposeful?

The opposite of flatulence? Bet. As in my ex-mother-in-law. She had a look on her face that said, "I never fart".
