Sometimes friends do really dickish things. They will eat all your cereal, show up without calling first, or shoot you in the face to cure your hiccups. Wait. What?! As my friend Dashuh said “At least he doesn't have hiccups anymore. Good to know what works. Not the best way to stop them but effective.” Which is true. But I think I’d rather have someone tell me to hold my breath or jump from behind a corner to cure my hiccups.
Pfc. Patrick Edward Myers who is 27 is now gonna be charged with manslaughter and if his ass is convicted, which he likely will be, to 20 years in prison for shooting his friend in the face to cure his hiccups. He and two other friends, also in the military, were drinking and watching football. Myers probably thought “This will be super funny!” and put a gun that he figured was unloaded because as we all know we make the best life decisions when drunk and shot his friend in the face. Police showed up and said “Yep. He dead.”
