You are in luck, or maybe not. I found an article in the UK Daily Mail ablout the IgNoble Awards. Apparently a man has cured the hiccups with a rather unique massage therapy. A 60-year-old man with acute pancreatitis developed persistent hiccups after insertion of a nasogastric tube. Removal of the latter did not terminate the hiccups which had also been treated with different drugs, and several manoeuvres were attempted, but with no success. Digital rectal massage was then performed resulting in abrupt cessation of the hiccups. Recurrence of the hiccups occurred several hours later, and again, they were terminated immediately with digital rectal massage. No other recurrences were observed. This is the second reported case associating cessation of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. We suggest that this manoeuvre should be considered in cases of intractable hiccups before proceeding with pharmacological agents.

It's hard to describe, but see if you can follow me. Get a glass of water and drink it over a sink. But don't drink it from the bottom of the glass, drink from the top and try to lap up the water with your tongue. The way your body will breath while doing this will calm the spasm in your diaphragm, which causes the hiccups.

Get yourself a glass of cold water, exhale completely, take a tiny sip, inhale slightly, then another tiny sip, etc. In other words, a little water, a little air, a little water, a little air, until you are full of air. Then exhale and start over, if necessary.

The only way I have found is to do something to get your mind off them and they will go away faster. The more you try to get rid of them, the longer they seem to stay, if you do something else and don't think about it, they go away pretty fast.

In _Annals of Improbable Research_ (look for it in Google), it's reported an IgNobel Prizse given this years to a physician who ended this problen sticking a finger in his pacient's *ss.

Drink water upside down (tilt you head till it's pointing towards the ground than swallow.) This always works for me.
