Uh oh, you've got the hiccups, and you're in a meeting with all the higher-ups. What to do? First, take a large gulp of whatever it is you are drinking. Don't swallow!
Step2
Drop your pen or pencil on the floor - make it look like an accident.
Step3
Bend over to retrieve your pen or pencil. When you are bent far enough over so that no one can see you (this works great when all parties are seated around a large table), plug your ears.
Step4
Try to get your head as "upside down" as possible and swallow sloooooowly while still plugging ears.
Step5
Unplug. Retrieve item. Sit up and enjoy an awkward moment - avoided!
Tips & Warnings
Works best with a cold beverage.
Can cause confusion if someone actually sees what you are doing.
