" It&amp;#x27;s true! A British man has been having the hiccups for two years. (He&amp;#x27;s a singer, so that&amp;#x27;s a bummer!) If you had to pick, would you rather be cursed with the hiccups forever or bursts of uncontrollable laughter? Christopher Sands first got the hiccups in December 2006. He gets them every two seconds for up to 12 hours a day. Because of his condition, he had to drop out of his band and can&amp;#x27;t keep food down. (Fyi, a hiccup happens when your diaphragm suddenly contracts.) So if you had to pick one affliction for the rest of your life, which would it be: hiccups or giggling? Both would wreck your life, but I think hiccupping would be less likely to frighten other people. What do you think? Which is worse? Take the poll below and leave your comments! Would you rather have the hiccups or giggle non-stop? ( surveys) Don&amp;#x27;t forget! Sign up for Glamour&amp;#x27;s free (and easy!) Exactly What to Eat to Lose Weight plan.
