Small time stuff. Charles Osborne started hiccupping in 1922 while attempting to weigh a hog, and continued hiccupping until 1990. .....at a 20 - 40 hiccup per minute clip for the entirely of the 68 years.

I saw that on the news today and was thinking, that poor girl is going to be horrified the next time she has a single hiccup.

Hmmmmm. Prayer?

Didn't this story go national on Wednesday morning? That's when I saw it on Fox News.

Seeing her suffering was heartbreaking.

I'm sure there were suddenly lots of folks praying for her once they saw the story.

I had the hiccups in boot camp, and there are things even a Marine Drill Instructor cannot stop.

But oh boy, how they tried........

I probably would have killed myself after a week of hiccuping.
