I have the hiccups. Again. Or still.→[More:]I get them a lot. And my coworker is right now oohing and ahhing over how cyooot they are, which makes me want to shove my Sharpie into his eyeball.

Hiccup remedies? Anyone?

I saw some medical show on TLC once where this woman had hiccups for days and finally went to the hospital. They tried all the usual stuff but finally cured it by putting pressure somewhere on the womans head. I think around the nose or something. I guess that's not very helpful, sorry.

They went away with a glass of ear-plugged water just before an important meeting, but came back in time for my coworker to start cooing about them. I thought all hiccuping people sounded the same? My boyfriend concurs that mine are exceptionally cute.

It took me a couple of minutes to correctly parse "a glass of ear-plugged water" and until I did, I was, like, EW!
