How do you get rid of hiccups?

For the past two nights I've gotten hiccups right before I've gone to bed. Weird huh? Whenever I get the hiccups I always remember hearing a story about a person who got the hiccups one day and then couldn't get rid of them. I wouldn't want that to happen to me, that would be really annoying to go around hiccuping all the time. Anyway they've gone away for the night, hope they don't come back again tomorrow.
