hiccups

   Hiccups can be a pain. I worked over night last night and had the hiccups from about 2am until 7am this morning. But what's more of a pain than hiccuping a thousand times is that everyone tells you about some home remedy that they swear works every time. My coworkers told me to do things like hold my thumb on my forehead, eat sugar, stand on my head, and drink from a glass covered with a napkin. (why the napkin?) A website I saw suggests thinking of someone ugly naked and covered in A-1 sauce. I just want to stop my hiccups, not my heart.
