Hiccups

4 Conversations

An embarrassing and obnoxious bodily malady from which several people have died, including one pope. The world record holder hiccuped for 68 years after picking up a hog for weighing before the slaughter, and only stopped after three straight days of fervent praying on the part of his family members. He died eleven months later, having hiccuped for all but 29 years of his life.
