The Secret Life of Hiccups

A hiccup came to me today.
It came again.
And again.
It would not leave me.
Work was quiet.
I was loud.
These are the “I swear it will work” remedies people shared:

Drink warm water through a paper towel.

Stand on your head.

Hold your breath

Guzzle a bunch of water.

Stick fingers in your ears. (Did not specify if it was supposed to be mine or someone else's)

Eat peanut butter.

Make yourself throw up. (I refuse to do this one)

My official conclusion: They are all crap.

Insert hiccup here.
