He was unable to find a cure, and continued hiccupping until February 1990, a total of 68 year!" A bit more than the 15-20 years that I thought!Megan @ SimplyThriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396945414221993411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26115194.post-1156305378324436302006-08-22T20:56:00.000-07:002006-08-22T20:56:00.000-07:00I have a hiccup solution that works MOST of the ti...I have a hiccup solution that works MOST of the time (for teachers). As the teacher, I invite the hiccuping student to the front of the room. They are then required to hold BOTH of my hands while the entire class stares at them and I command them to "Hiccup!" on demand. This usually makes them concentrate so hard they can't hiccup anymore. Occasionally, I have a kid who can overcome and gives me a hiccup...although not on command. If you're not a teacher, good luck. :) <BR/><BR/>BTW, I read about a guy who had hiccups for like 15 or 20 years and they couldn't cure him. Sucks to be him!!!Megan @ SimplyThriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396945414221993411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26115194.post-1156259580745378732006-08-22T08:13:00.000-07:002006-08-22T08:13:00.000-07:00Anomie-LOL!That's not a bad idea, for some people ...Anomie-<BR/><BR/>LOL!<BR/><BR/>That's not a bad idea, for some people I know.Peter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103156220017676316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26115194.post-1156215512810180042006-08-21T19:58:00.000-07:002006-08-21T19:58:00.000-07:00The key to stopping hiccups is to make yourself en...The key to stopping hiccups is to make yourself enjoy them and hope they'll last as long as they can.
