Weird but true. Part Deux

I wish I had saved all the useful tips, and weirdness that people had posted in that old thread as it has fallen off of the edge of the forums world.

So here I am to start it again, because OD was curious as to what tip I gave to Kyo to cure the hiccups.

Q: So how do I cure hiccups?

A: Simple. I drink out of the top of a glass.

Now at first this sounds like a prank, I assure you, it is not.

  1. First off, the glass doesn't have to be big. I use a coffee mug.
  2. Fill it about half way with water.
  3. Now for the tricky part. If you don't have good balance you might want something nearby to put a hand on, like a chair.
  4. Start to bend over at the waist and as you lean farther forward, put the top of the glass under you upper lip. (Just as your lower lip would normally be, but opposite.)
  5. Continue in this fashion until you can drink from the glass.
  6. How much to drink is up to you. I drink about half, set the glass down and stay in that position for another 20 sec.
  7. Stand back up.
This trick has never failed to cure my hiccups.

Mr Dressup taught me how to cure the hiccups. Drink very tiny sips of water from a glass. Works every single time for me.

A teaspoonful of dry granulated sugar swallowed without dissolving also works. Of course it is chock full of calories, but then it tastes good too.
