Story time:
Several decades ago (Yeah, I'm that old) I was working in a shipping office with a young couple that were living together. She had the hiccups and couldn't get them to stop. This went on for about an hour and her boyfriend asked if I had any idea how to get them to stop. "I got one, but she'll be pissed at me" He pleaded with me to do it.
She comes back into the office and hiccuping away, when I look at her and say her doctor's office called and the tests confirmed she was pregnant. I must have hit too close to home, because she gasped, looked at me, and said,"You better be shitting me..."
"Of course I'm shitting you, but you'll notice your hiccups stopped." Sure enough, that's what she needed.
