And I mean dry. Don't take it in water, or with water. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..." Edited by admin Feb. 3, 2002, 12:15:14 AM EST Expand All History

I'd kiss the other guy, too. (cough but I'd rather kiss women instead, if you don't mind.) If ye all did nothing and that made the hiccups stop, I thank ye all.

Oh, well Something worked, anyway - that's what's important! Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Let the air back up in your lungs and sometimes this cures the hiccups. #2 Have something scare you. This sometimes resets the muscles that cause the hiccups. A naked picture of Bea Arthur (unless you are into that kind of thing), a video of Bill Gates ruling the Earth, have a friend sneak up on you and tap you on the shoulder when you aren't looking, etc. #3 Stand on your head and drink water. Not sure why, but this works even if it does sound silly. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
