I wish the thing causing my hiccups would manifest as a physical object so I could beat the everloving shit out of it with a hammer and finally go to sleep. (sopuli.xyz)

The hammer is your finger and the manifestation of your hiccups is your fathers prostate gland

Incidentally, IIRC one of, if not the only proven cure for the hiccups is a prostate massage, now normally it's the person with the hiccups who gets massaged, as opposed to being the masseur...

Though I have no idea if that technique works for women as well, or if it's just men who have that awkwardly placed off switch

Do you have a source for that?

…asking for a friend

I'll keep this in my back pocket next time my partner has the hiccups. I'll massage her prostate and report back.
