too funny!  We've all had hiccups at the worst possible time.

On another embarrassing note,  I remember having a nose bleed once when flying circuits...  sure was glad I had Kleenexes with me!!

Yesterday I was flying through ZDC at FL330, and the controller felt the need to announce to all aircraft:

"Attention all aircraft......I have to sneeze, please stand by"

Hah, that's a good one.  I'll have to let my friend Marc know, he's a CPC at the facility.  Knowing Marc, it was probably him. <g>

I almost feel bad for this guy.  That's gotta be a pain in the butt when you have to talk for a living, but can't.

Isn't persistent hiccups a sign of something wrong?  I'm definitely no doctor here, but I thought I heard a case a while back that hiccups that you can't shed are an indication that something is definitely wrong with you.

Thanks for editing that for me, I haven't gotten into that yet! Did you use the Audacity to do that?

Careful you don't get hiccups from laughing too much.

I good fright is reckoned to be a cure for hiccups - you would think someone could have made a brief runway incursion to help him out! :wink:

LOL, I honestly don't know yet...just saw it on one of the posts as one to use to edit media.  I haven't had time to experiment with it yet, but when I do, I'll let you know!

It must have been more than a half hour actually, maybe an hour. I went through the archives and edited the clip down.   :-D
