In a tragic accident fueled by alcohol and Sunday night football, one man was fatally shot by his friend in the eye in an attempt to scare away the hiccups.

[Teotwawki]

Seems to me there has to be a better way to get rid of the hiccups.

[tet68]

He doesn’t have the hiccups any more.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think you’re wrong. This is the only method I know of that makes the hiccups go away and not come back.

[Yaelle]

Yeah, that gets rid of hiccups better than the old drink water upside down trick.

[ErnBatavia]

Dr. Pol takes his shirt off, puts a Hefty Bag over his entire arm and shoves that arm up your entire GI tract.

That appears to work also....it would for me, anyhow....

[dinodino]

Well, no more hiccups...

Sure fire cure for hiccups:

1. Have a friend stand behind you and firmly cup his hands over your ears.

2. Take a deep breath, and pinch your nose with one hand.

3. Without exhaling, drink an entire glass of water.

Works every time.

Just WOW Earn, that’s really graphic.

You sound like you know from first hand experience!!!

Pssst, Earn, this is kinda like a family site?!

[ConradofMontferrat]

Sure fire cure for hiccups:

Brown bag over head. Have friend secure bag around your neck, (really loosely). Breath your own co2 for about 2 minutes.

Hiccups gone.

Doesn't add up.

Myers allegedly thought the gun had dummy rounds when it discharged, shooting the victim in the eye.

[ErnBatavia]

I’ve been here for a dozen years and know what will get me ‘suspended’ (which has happened two or three times...sigh).

[LibWhacker]

Well, he says they were friends. The other guy isn’t around any more to contradict him.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sounds like a riddle I once heard.

A man walks into a bar, the bartender pulls his shotgun and fires at the man and misses. The man says, "Thank you" and leaves. What happened?

The answer is that the man had hiccups.

Riddles should rarely be acted out in real life.

[NoLibZone]

Your Honor.

Ladies and gentleman of the jury.

My wife had the hiccups.

[Lancey Howard]

Well, it beats rubbing half a potato on your balls and then burying it in the back yard. Oh wait... that’s for warts.
Nevermind.

[Lancey Howard]

Well, he says they were friends. The other guy isn’t around any more to contradict him.

I'm sure they must have been friends. Who but a good friend would let you comfort his wife while you're overseas?

[Fightin Whitey]

WHAAAT?

I thought I was supposed to rub the half-potato then bury my BALLS in the back yard!!

[LibWhacker]

let you comfort his wife while you're overseas?

I know, but... wait... WHAAAAT? He sent his wife overseas?

[Eaker]

I thought I was supposed to rub the half-potato then bury my BALLS in the back yard!!

That's what Obama did.
