I wish the thing causing my hiccups would manifest as a physical object so I could beat the everloving shit out of it with a hammer and finally go to sleep. (sopuli.xyz)

Look, this doesn't even have to end with a curse.

No fooling, if you get the hiccups just tell yourself, "I am not a fish."

It's the stupidest hiccup cure I've ever heard. And it somehow always works.

But, do you like fish sticks...?

Believe it or not, I already tried that.
