Getting Rid of the Hiccups

October 13, 2008 9:32 AM | permalink | comments: 0

After we ate yesterday at Dog & Suds, Pam got the hiccups. And it reminded me.

I was probably in fourth grade at the time. Some TV show--it might have been Candid Camera--sent someone around asking people, "How do you get rid of the hiccups?"

One person said, "I think of seven bald-headed men."

Sounds silly, but: it worked me me. I kid you not. I would start thinking about bald guys in our church, and the hiccups would go away. I didn't even need to reach seven.

I'm serious. This worked for me. For years.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
