A Cure for Hiccups

I have found a cure for the hiccups, but it is more trouble than it is worth. It involves corn mash, chickens and high explosives.

I would go into detail, but don’t want to implicate certain individuals of short temper who conduct activities regarded as illegal by some authorities in this region. I will say this: never allow chickens near a still, especially if there is a mining operation nearby. The Dahlonega magistrate has been trying for over a week to identify the source of a flock of defeathered poultry that dropped on the courthouse on New Year’s day.
