Hiccups.



About 15 years ago, or so... I was at the mall shopping when I suddenly got a bad case of hiccups... nothing was working, I was holding my breath and bought a drink and it was really embarrassing because they were loud LOL



Anyway, I was about to have to leave when a man came up to me and asked "can I buy your hiccups?" and he held out a dollar coin in his hands... and I looked at him.. confused and he said "take it" so I took the coin and he thanked me and walked away.. it was like the twilight zone... and my hiccups were gone. Totally gone!



I told my husband about this one time and he said he had heard about this cure when he was a boy - you distract the person with hiccups by offering to buy them and it changes their breathing.



I tried this on a cashier at the pharmacy (recently).. I was in a long line and noticed she was embarrassed, trying to supress her case of hiccups so I offered to buy them and everyone in line looked at me like I had 2 heads, including the cashier ~ who kept hiccuping, by the way.
