software cough-button (The AppleScript Way)

cough-button.applescript

(* This AppleScript was inspired by another script I found on the internet. I'm sorry I don't have the original link. 
This works really well with BetterTouch Tool or Keyboard Maestro. 

DOWNSIDE: I have noticed about a 1/2 millisecond lag to this script. It could be my hardware or just the latency of running it through another tool.
