How to Cure a Bad Case of....THE HICCUPS

Ever get a bad case of the hiccups at the most inopportune times?? After downing your food too quickly at a business meeting, or when you are slightly intoxicated and meet the man or woman of your dreams? Let me tell you, no matter how badly someone scares you or how long you hold your breath, nothing will cure your hiccups like this remedy.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• glass of water
• four hands (unless you have long fingers or are quite skilled in this art)

1. The first step is to actually have the hiccups. If you do not have the hiccups, do not perform the remaining steps. Thank you.
2. Pour yourself a large glass of water. If there is no water around, you can try wine, milk, juice or whatever beverage you prefer. However, based on experience, water does the job the best.
3. Pretend this is a human face, but you get the point. This step can get confusing. Have someone hold the glass up to your mouth, or as mentioned prior, if you are quite skillful you can hold it yourself. While sipping the water out of the glass, plug your ears and nose. Hold this stance for approximately five sips or ten seconds.
4. Yay!!! You are now happy and hiccup-free.

Tips & Warnings

• If freeing yourself from hiccups does not work the first time, try an additional time. If that doesn't work, then I don't even know what to do with you.
• Avoid chugging at a fast pace. This is a slow and calm process and thus must be treated that way. Sip and watch the hiccups vanish before your eyes.
