What are some fun things to do on a bus??


Question: I'm not talking about a school bus, I'm talking about a Greyhound type bus.
So singing 99 bottles etc will not work.
This is not for kids, this is for a couple of 30 year olds who live in NYC, and therefore do not have a car.

Here is what I have so far:

Read signs backwards find out whic is the most ridiculous sounding, for example: Starbucks..... Skcubrats, Kinkos.....Soknik, Amtrak.......Kartma, and other signs as they go by.

Write notes and flash them to other people in other buses (you will be at the same level)

Look down into people in cars, spy on them and invent crazy scenarios about them.

What else.

Reading is not an option (motion sickness), and we like to keep eachother amused, and we have a good sense of humor.

But, lets face it, 3 hours on a Greyhound sucks. We just want to make it more fun!
Answers: Look for ridiculous church signs.
count how many McDonalds or Dairy Queens you see.
write a story together. One person starts and the next person continues and so on....it is so fun to read afterward.
Create personas for all the people on the bus. build their histories, what they like to eat, profession and so on......
Make faces at kids as you pass.....
tie a cherry stem with your tongue
give each other pedicures, manicures and massages
play poker with M&M's
I like the sex in the bathroom idea or bring a big blanket......
Bring a coloring book and crayons

Go to the library and check out some books on tape, and listen to them with headphones.
People-watch.
I spent 24 hours once right after college...with 3 people from Finnland who spoke no English....so three hours with friends is nothing....Just joke around,talk about good old times and laugh at the people eating beef jerky.
Only three hours should be fine- just take a nap. I spent 4 days on greyhound once where the guy ahead of me scratched his head continously. It wasn't bad until he started bleeding.
