Unnessacerally sarcastic outburst to paulw's reply will begin in 5 minutes.

When you feel a hiccup coming on, whip out your old fella and plunge it into the water and then.........oops sorry got confused while replying to a water melon question on another site.

When you feel a hiccup coming on start drinking the water really slow, until you finish it.....

well back to the water melon question.

Oh crikey what a shock, talk about overkill, cure my hiccups but give me a heart attack why don't you, I'm very lucky I didn't die from the shock, the only reason I'm still breathing is that that was the most obvious thing that anyone could ever say to my simple and desperate request for a hiccup cure. But appart from the unparrallelled wit deficiency in your attempt at irony it was a great reply, 3 explanation marks, what a great touch, 2 explanation marks I don't think I would have been shocked enough, 1 exclamation mark would'nt be enough to disgruntle my grandma's hernia, 4 explanation marks, well that would just be amaturish, 3 exclamation marks was a master stroke, even Freddie Krouger would be proud of your ability to shock. And softening the blow with an h at the end of booooooooh, wow, only a true expert in the theory of terror knows that you can do more damage with a screwdriver than you can with a knife, my freind you are gifted, don't let your gift go to waste on mere programming, share your gift with the world, set up an international centre for hiccup research, seriously you could charge thousands for scary words like booooooooh!!! you'd be rich beyound your wildest dreams and the world would be free of hiccups, many congratulations and thanks o guru of the diaphram spasm control arts, and good luck on your new career as Dr paulw, hiccup surgeon.

LOL!!!!!

Another post like that and I am gonna have to give up my status as the biggest smart ass :mad:

hmm, sarcasm didn't work, neither did Jethro's cure (although I changed water and crushed ice to beer because it's more pleasant, what shall I try next, shreadded wheat I think.

Apologies for that uncalled for egress, I havn't had a chance to be sarcastic to anyone except dennis for a while, so I felt it was time to unload my insult tubes.

I have two main cures.

1. Take a deep breath and hold it for as long as possible, if you are a smoker like me, this will be for about 2 seconds.

2. Get so w@nkered that you pass out, works everytime, and if you are like Jethro, one glass of sherry should do it ;)

......lol.......

Sam, it looks like i am going to have to take the smart ass award away from DeniseWrenn and give it to you ;)

[paulw]

Ooh, I'm so hurt - there is no sure cure for hiccups, but as it is a disturbance of the diaphragm, the best things to investigate are interrupting your breathing cycle in some way - hence holding your breath, crushed ice down the back - a fright - I should have just posted my piccie - that would have stopped you.

I usually drink a glass of water with my head inverted - Don't start - I bend over - that seems to help. Beer might do but its a bit gassy.

They're probably gone now anyway!

Cheers,

Paul.

BTW As a past master in the arts of sarcasm, I feel that your talents are wasted in this forum - you ought to be at the comedy store! It made me laugh, anyway. As you are in London, drop me a line and I'll take you for a beer;)

thats good sophtware,
my name isn't denise, so I am not losing anything....

My father-in-law got such a strong hiccup that it lasted for three months!

He went into sedatives, RX, stomach endoscopy, lots of analyses, and then it suddenly stopped without a real diagnostic.

Believe me, he hiccupped even while asleep!

[kedaman]

I the one and only cure for hiccup, and it works every time and for every one! Actually this is just the alternative if my usual doesnt work.

1. stick both your arms up in the air as high as possible
2. bend your head forward as much as possible without moving your arms
3. Start moving head forward really slowly keeping hands as high as possible
4. As slowly as you can remember
5. When you feel like your head is about to explode next second stop. You may see some stars flying around you, if you don't then you may have failed to cure your hiccup too.

look at the photo of Iain................

Yah, judging from the reactions of various woman the morning after the night before, that should cure just about everything. ;)
