A Cure for the Hiccups

I was out with a friend Saturday night and we enjoyed a couple of shots.

After the second one I acquired a wicked case of the hiccups.

Through hick-ups we discussed the recent deaths of Farrah & Michael.

I said sadly, "We really lost <hiccup> two big American icons."

He reminded me, "Don't forget about Ed McMahon."

I replied, "Ed never knocked on my door <hiccup> with no million dollars."

We laughed as the bartender asked if we needed anything.

I asked cheekily, "Do you have a cure <hiccup> for the hiccups?"

He nodded and said, "Why, yes I do."

He filled a shotglass with water, lit 3 matches & doused them in the water.

He served it to me and said, "Don't ask, just drink."

I did. Tasted like matches. I waited. It worked! My hiccups were gone.

The bartender smiled and joked, "That one's on the house."
