This is a question Real-life slapstick

Fact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.

Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

My brother...
Seems to be able to fall asleep in a car no matter how bumpy the ride or noisy the road surface. Something about car journeys just sends him straight off to Bedfordshire.

Every time this happens, I look at Missus Dickus, count to three, and scream my head off. Occasionally I stamp on the brakes when it is it safe to do so, or weave side to side a little.

Every time we do this, my brother wakes up with a momentary look of sheer panic on his face, utters an expletive and goes back to sleep.

Every. Single. Time. It never gets old.

I suffer similarly to your brother
Unfortunately, the overwhelming invitation to the Land of Nod can arrive even if I've got the steering wheel in front of me.
At that point, I'm grateful for any wake-up screams from the other occupants of the car.
