Conversation About Hiccups

Here's a replay of a conversation Jim and I had at the dinner table tonight. It's a revelation about a long held family secret...my loud, loud hiccups. Before I get to the conversation, you have to know that when we were dating (between Febuary 14 and April of 1957 in Chicago)and I would get the hiccups, Jim would quickly walk several paces ahead of me because he was so embarrassed.

Jim: "Did you have loud hiccups before we met?"
Me: "I don't think so."
J: "Did meeting me give you loud hiccups?"
M: I'm thinking, where is he going with this?! I come up with an answer worthy of being in a
book of wisdom (maybe)..."If I had loud hiccups before I met you, no one in Minnesota made
mention of it!!" Implying that the guy I'm dating is embarrassed by my hiccups!
J: "Well, I thought they were cute, and I still do."
M: "You are the greatest!"

So, if you hear loud hiccups at church, it's probably me, please don't mention it! Instead you could have a conversation like we did; what foods give you the hiccups and how you get rid of them.
