Hiccups have as many cures as it does causes, so it comes as no real surprise that sex has been suggested as a cure.  But what does come as a surprise, is the source of this hiccup cure:  The NIH (National Institute of Health).

The next time I get a good case of the hiccups, I’m gonna have hot sex.
I mean, it’s worth a shot (or two), right?
