very easily amused
My brother has an infinite ability to crack me up. It's especially pronounced when we're riding in a car -- probably the natural outcome of many long road vacations in our childhood.
EXAMPLE 1
"Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd is on his satellite radio. He's driving. Neither of us is speaking.
OK...
Just a little pinprick...
There'll be no more -- aaaaaahhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
And I'm doubled-over, laughing, because he chimes in with a loud, piercing falsetto at the "aaaaaahhh" part.
EXAMPLE 2
We're driving again, approaching a stop sign. The highway has rumble strips. As his truck wheels contact the rough surface, resonating with sound pairs (front and back tires) that are further and further apart (we're decelerating), he's adding his own sound effects:
mer mer
merr merr
murrr murrr
And I'm laughing again. Every time.

no
Much less stress than having Jason and YJA in your back seat, too.
Or if you're slowing down, you could say "Thank god the killer bees are receding!"
