Alf developes a case of hiccoughs, but they're no ordinary hiccoughs, as they have a metalic tinge and get louder every time. There is a cure for them, two cures actaully, but one is too disgusting even to mention, and the other is: cat juice... Maybe I like this episode more than I should, but the entire hiccoughs and wedding confusion doesn't bother me. Dorothy and her interaction with Alf is always amusing in my opinion. The moment when Alf gets out the radioactive (or was it plain nuclear) waste was just my favorite. And in the end you kindda feel sorry for Alf wanting to be a part of the wedding, hehe.moreless
