I know this doesn’t really fit in, but I figured that I could just as easily give people advice on top of all the other intellectual nuggets I’m likely to express (yes that was a reference to poo). To break open this new category, I’m going to start out with two ways to cure the hiccups, works almost every time.

Some will tell you to do all sorts of crazy things from drinking water from the wrong end of the glass, to standing on your head, getting hit between the shoulder blades, or holding your breath until you pass out. However, I’m going to tell you a two step cure for the hiccups that has been passed down through my family for generations.

Step 1: Take a spoon and get a spoonful of Peanut butter (creamy)
Step 2: Eat that spoonful of peanut butter
Result: Hiccups are gone.

yep, that’s all there is to it. Now if you happen to be allergic to peanuts… well, then it stinks to be you now doesn’t it? The next cure may not suit you either… in fact, it will suit very few.

Step 1: Light a cigarette
Step 2: Smoke the cigarette
Resut: No more Hiccups

Yep that works too. Nicotine actually helps to regulate the muscles of the digestive tract. I worked with a girl who had the hiccups for two weeks. After I suggested she smoke a cigarette (and she did so) the hiccups stopped. Believe it or not, nicotine has many benefits… but they don’t really talk about them too much. But that’s for another post… perhaps a rant.

Please note that smoking peanut butter or eating cigarettes does not cure the hiccups. The former is likely to cause a cough, and the later will actually cause all the symptoms of appendicitis (what you do with that information is none of my business).

Hope that helps, I know the Hiccups can be one of the most annoying bodily functions. Now perhaps it won’t be so bad for you anymore.

Type to you later,
