Belly full of laughs

Dinner was hilarious tonight. The five of us were sitting around the table eating a very nutritious meal of sausage rolls with tomato sauce. Except Aoife, she had tomato sauce with sausage rolls, not a subtle difference if you had witnessed the banquet. The fun was initiated by the introduction of a bottle of very cold and very fizzy mineral water. Doesn't sound like a prop that would bring the house down but it did.
We passed it around the table wino style and Finn took the initiative. He seemed to be taking it in his stride, but it was a false start, a second later his face crunched up from chin to tip of nose and his eyes ballooned. It subsided as quickly as it started but it lasted long enough to have everyone at the table convulsing with laughter. Aoife went next and made sure she at least matched Finn's reaction. This time Finn led the chorus of laughter. Euey followed with his theatrics which again had everyone going but especially Finn. I had a crack and received an equally decent response, again championed by the tickled Finn. But the crescendo came from left field. While George has a finely tuned wit that keeps us all on our toes she is not famous for her slapstick. So when she pulled off a marvelous facial distortion, upon sipping the fizzy, Finn nearly stopped breathing he was laughing so much. His face, shoulders and body were convulsing as he leaned back and glanced around the table at everyone else's reactions. He had us in stitches and we just fed off each other till it hurt so good. Oh what a bellyful we survived tonight.
