	My mother turned me on to this particular hiccup cure and I have yet
to see it fail:

		Place one teaspoon of peanut butter in your mouth and eat
		it;  by the time it's down, your hiccups will be gone.

	I have also been using a non-invasive cure for hiccups for about
eight years now.  It's success rate is about 80%. (When it doesn't work
I run for the peanut butter)

		Find a good friend and have him/her stare into your eyes.
		You must try to block out the rest of the world from your
		concentration and see only the eyes.  When no friend is
		around, I have successfully cured myself by looking into
		a mirror at my own eyes (and in one case at my reflection
		in a window in the backseat of a car).  This one is
		a little weird for some people but it has a surprising
		success rate for so subtle a technique.
