I like hiccups. Who's with me?
(Sorry mods, if this counts as a bodily function thread, please feel free to lock it... I thought the rule against those were 'cause they are gross... and, well... hiccuping isn't gross... or at least I don't think so... so, anyway...)

I like hiccups because they're always surprising. You never expect them, and so it's like a little temporary break from knowing what to expect to be doing from moment to moment. Also, they're just funny.

I don't know why I felt like I wanted to share this today. It only makes me look weird(er), I know.

Just wanted to know if I'm the only one I guess.

2. Gotta pass on hiccups. Sneezing however is an entirely different matter.

4. What?
I don't want to get this thread locked, but sneezing is a bodily function that is often messy.

Gross!

12. No such thing.
You better be covering your nose!

But for goodness' sake don't stifle 'em... that'll hurt your ears.

Sorry... not meaning to be bossy here.

3. I hate hiccups...
But I do enjoy the smell of my own farts.. I am glad the bad stuff is getting out of my body.

10. Those sound like monstrous hiccups.
Even the ones that hurt don't hurt me too much.


Or maybe I'm just way tougher than you. :7

17. Hiccups + chronic back pain = agony!
When you have a bad back, every hiccup, every sneeze, ever cough can throw our your back and put you in screaming agony. So, don't mind me if I don't enjoy hiccups. :(

29. They work your abs if you have 'em long enough
Edited on Wed Nov-07-07 06:21 PM by darkstar
Just had a on and off half hour stretch this week. And, for real, my stomach was kind of sore next day. And I'm in OK shape.

And, as per ThomCat and others above, I remember thinking what a drag it would be to have just had some abdominal surgery, etc. Ouch

32. I read that hiccups mean your diaphragm needs more oxygen.

34. My sister had the hiccups today.
I took her to lunch- it started up in the middle of the meal. I told her my sure-fire cure and she tried it. Thirty seconds later they were gone.

Since I believe my cure is worth a lot of money, I don't think I'm gonna tell ya what it is.

But it works every time.
