Well, someone had to Google or Wikipediafy this. From Wikipedia.
American Charles Osborne (1894–1991) had hiccups for 68 years, from 1922 to 1990, and was entered in the Guinness World Records as the man with the longest attack of hiccups, an estimated 430 million hiccups. In 2007, Florida teenager Jennifer Mee gained media fame for hiccuping around 50 times per minute for more than five weeks. British singer Christopher Sands hiccupped an estimated 10 million times in a 27-month period from February 2007 to May 2009. His condition, which meant that he could hardly eat or sleep, was eventually discovered to be caused by a tumor on his brain stem pushing on nerves causing him to hiccup every two seconds, 12 hours a day. His hiccups stopped in 2009 following surgery.
That last one might give Monty the most reason to worry.
Hiccups can actually be a sign of a stroke. My boss had hiccups so bad he went to the emergency room a couple of times. His wife finally insisted they X-ray his head. He was having a stroke

Osborne made the best of it, found a job carrying medications for patents that required to shake well before taking.

“ I can’t help it,” Charles said, “ Osborne this way.”

Look at the bright side, Monty…you’ll never live another 68 years. Probably 30-40 years tops.
