Another example of this is my latest T-Shirt design:

Actually, I think syphilis could be an interesting target for therapeutic research. The stuff already seeks out destroys tissue. It would be fairly interesting to develop a strain of syphilis that would specifically seek out and devour cancer. It just might be possible.

This Design is mostly the idea of a friend of mine. Chad, you’re sick, but hey… so am I. I totally give you props on this one. At one point this was Chad’s myspace name. I was so amused by it that I just had to put it on a t-shirt. Note that the figure is both trashy and androgynous. Thusly, it can be enjoyed by any gender! I drew this while sitting in a starbucks coffee place (these things are everywhere! what’s up with that?). I got a nasty look from an old lady who just glanced at the image (without the text). I can’t wait to see the looks on people’s faces as I go shopping with this shirt on.

Now, I am not making light of those who have had cancer. In fact, every single one of my grandparents have had cancer. Two of them died from it. There isn’t really much that’s funny about cancer. However, we have a saying in our family “if you can’t laugh at it, you’re taking it too seriously.” I like to think that every one of my controversial designs has a meaning behind them. This one… is just absurd. No meaning… just absurdity.

Oh, and hey, if you didn’t know that I sell T-Shirts, go check ‘em out. There are other shirts that are fairly funny/controversial, including the infamous “Sometimes…Puppies Just Die” T-Shirt. I at least think they’re cool. I really do get a laugh out of most of them… the one’s that are meant to be funny anyhow. I suppose that’s what really matters. Oh, and the money, I like money. :P

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.
