Gosh darn it! I keep getting the hiccups.

I don’t like them at all and I wish they would just go away and leave me alone forever. What purpose do they have anyway? Do they even have a purpose? Yawning has a purpose. When we don’t breathe correctly and don’t get enough oxygen to our lungs, we yawn to get more oxygen. It’s rather involuntary, and it happens a lot more when we are tired.

Maybe that’s because when we get tired it is harder for us to breathe in. So yawning has a purpose and it’s not as annoying as hiccups. Hiccups don’t seem to have a useful purpose at all. There are a few theories out there, but no one has come up with a way to prove them. I wish they would hurry up and go away.
