Why doesn't anybody believe me...

My cure for hiccups is even more simple! More alcohol!

When I was a kid and my parents went away for the weekend I'd immediately run out and buy a case of Pabst, Piels, or Black Label. That kept my friends from drinking MY beer :). They'd say no thanks and go buy Bud.

I smoked KENT cigarettes for the same reason.

It worked.

I smoked Pall Mall filterless.

Nobody bummed that second cig from me.

....when I tell them I know a sure fire cure for hiccups???

A teaspoon of sugar swallowed, without letting it dissolve, wipes them out. Every time. It has something to do with the crystals getting into the air pockets (or something like that) that cause the hiccups.

Whenever I tell someone however, despite how serious and convincing I try to be, they smile, laugh, roll their eyes, or just ignore me. Even if their hiccups are killing them!

I'm getting fed up with it!!!!

Oh the humanity.....





Somebody please tell me why? I cant lose another night's sleep.
This man needs to play his bass more. I found the sugar thing doesn't always work. The one sure thing that ALWAYS works for me is: 2 Altoids. I have no idea why, nor what inspired for me to try it, but it really works.
