    Resident of Anthon, Iowa
    Hiccupped continuously for 68 years (1922-1990)
    Recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records

Why he might be annoying:

    Why his hiccuping started and why it stopped were both mysteries.
    The constant hiccuping caused frequent vomiting.
    He was unable to keep his false teeth in.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Despite the hiccups, he led a fairly normal life, including marrying twice and fathering eight children.
    He tried over 5,000 suggested cures without success.
    He enjoyed less than one hiccup-free year before dying.
