Imagine Hiccuping FOREVER



Look at that girl. She's fifteen years old. Doesn't she look exhausted? Well she's been hiccuping for three weeks straight and she's worried she's never going to stop. Her name is Jennifer Mee, she lives in St. Petersburg, and she has tried every known home remedy there is. None of them have worked. I feel sorry for her. She must literally be going insane. I know I would.

At 50 times a minute these incessant hiccups, according to Jennifer's mother, Rachel Robidoux, sound like the barks of a chihuahua. It started on Janurary 23rd and apparently Jennifer is so depressed she's considered jumping off the Sunshine Skyway to make them stop. I don't blame her. She hasn't gone back to school since it started and is now home tutored. Apparently the hiccuping is too much to handle. And her chest and hips hurt from the constant spasming.

The longest case on record lasted 69 years. What would you do if this happened to you?

I'll be following the case of Jennifer Mee, hoping they find a cure for her.

"...still to come, Keith Urban! Performing out on our plaza. Seriously though, Jennifer, that's terrible."

This is a bigger sham than baby Jessica or that whole Civil War-thingy. You guys got taken in. She's faking.

but if she isn't, and it has been known to happen to other people, it would totally suck, yes? no?
