One of Jim's other great skills is sneezing.
This is Jim, about 1/3 of the way through one of his sneezes, which are always explosive and, like him, large.
This particular sneeze was not detonated in Jim's ideal sneeze environment, which is when he has his face under four inches from mine.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."
