The art of story-telling is a key to bonding with your audience but to achieve that via Twitter is something of a higher art, as barrister Jamie Susskind has demonstrated with a series of tweets that have garnered growing popularity over nothing less than a commuter’s sneeze.

Scoring tens of thousands of likes and a plethora of sneeze-story-related retweets and comments, the Susskind sneeze series is a winner.
