“I have the hiccups. I wonder if I might have another drink.”
- James Stewart in The Philadelphia Story
So I just learned this — a hiccup is also known as a hiccough or, in medicine, as a synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF). Hiccups are interesting, because it’s not really known what purpose they serve; annoying, because they can last for up to 68 years; but most of all funny, as evidenced by the following video.
UPDATE: Some real cool guy named Tyrone Johnson removed the video due to some copyright claim (read: wants money). Below I’ve included another video with a cat because there aren’t enough funny hiccup videos on the Internet.
Alright, so the fart enhances the hilarity, but a cat hiccuping is undeniably funny.
Just leave us be with our cats, copyright claimers.
And I’m pretty sure that’s the way it is.

Who is this Tyrone Johnson punk who stole the video from YouTube with some namby pamby copyright claim?
What the CRAP! We got robbed. It almost looks like a joke. Tyrone Johnson? Real or not real?

Thanks for ruining everything, Tyrone. Real class act.
That cat just saw Tyrone Johnson out of the corner of his eye.
