They say when someone is missing you, you start having hiccups.
I had four episodes of hiccups today, and am soon going to have a fifth one. I am sure of it.
They say hiccups can be controlled in a lot of ways. Like...
1- holding your breath and counting to 10 is one way some people can get rid of their hiccups; [counting to 10??? I started counting, and it was something like...1, 2, *hic*, 3, *hic*, 4 5, *hic*....argh]
2- other people say that drinking from the "wrong" side of a glass of water is the way to become hiccup-free. [What do they mean by the "wrong side"? Does it mean making a hole in the bottom of the glass and then drinking water through it?]
3- putting sugar under your tongue might work, too. [This sounds new now]
4- having someone jump out and scare you when you're not expecting it - helps some people wave good-bye to their hiccups. [yeah, right! Actually this thing happened with me today. *:S* Nav screamed and I started hiccuping. Or were it just just my ears which heard his normal shrill voice as amplified one?]
Anyways, such things don't affect me much. My hiccups don't stop even when I drink the whole of Tarbela Dam.
Ooo*hic*pps. They have *hic* started again *hic*. Sa*hic*ve me puh*hic*lease.
Che*hic*erio.
