Honest to heavens, Eliza....go get some bread, go down to your local duck pond. Feed the bread to the ducks. Poof, hiccups go away.

At least, it worked when I was six....and the few times I've used it as an excuse to feed ducks as an adult.

Basically it's the same theory as Lixy....distract yourself from the hiccups, and they'll go much more quickly. HEY, I bet a serious orgasm would do it!
