Ten Ways to Cure Hiccups
Note: all remedies have been clinically tested in a clinic by clinical people and are therefore clinically approved by the clinic. (For more information contact the clinic for a free £10 trial or alternatively leave your bank details and barcode number at the reception.)
Top ten cures:
1.Balance a bag of flour on the top of a door and wait for it to tell you the time.
2.Sing the news headlines to a full moon.
3.Wear an orange scharf whilst limbo dancing to the last ten pages of David Copperfield.
4.Come your hair backwards with a hand held vacuum cleaner.
5.Point a finger in the direction of the nearest forklift.
6.Paint the AA Road Atlas cover on your left nostril (only advised for chronic hiccup sufferers).
7.Listen to Val Doonican dressed as a giant bamboo leaf (both you and him).
8.Do an Irish jig around a telephone box, roaring whenever men in eighties-style leather jackets pass by.
9. Pour custard* over the nearest old lady.
10. Grate soap onto a vegetable patch whilst bellowing the Ten Commandments or if not available Noddy goes to Toytown.
*Note: never ever use custard with real eggs - you may be attacked by a chicken
