How to cure that stubborn hiccup in seconds

It's a sworn family secret, which I can no longer hold within! Yes, there is a simple cure to those annoying hiccups! I would be letting you into the simple steps of curing your hiccups for life!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A glass of lukewarm water
• Cheering friends or family members
• Just follow the instructions.

1. The first step is to get a glass of water. I usually use lukewarm water.

2. Now take a gulp of the water, but don't swallow it all at once.

3. Let your tongue, which should be sticking to the roof of your mouth, filter the water.

4. The previous step should immediately be followed with large gulping sounds.

5. This may be funny, but it really does work. If you don't believe me, try it.

6. If it doesn't work, write back and tell me. It could be two things; it only works for people genetically related to me, or you're not doing it right. Chances are that you're not doing it right. Good luck!

Tips & Warnings

• Experience is the best teacher. If you don't get it the first time, try again!
• There are no side effects or warnings. This is for adults or kids who don't need that much guidance.

on 10/6/2007 Vigorous rectal massage also works. There is a paper on this. You can find it with an internet search--see Ig Noble Prize. (It stimulates the vagus nerve.)
