Explanation

'Splitting our sides' is an idiom meaning to laugh extremely hard, uncontrollably, anduproariously. The imagery suggests laughing so hard that your sides might literally split from the force. Their talk was incredibly funny and caused them to laugh with great intensity. Option A (make us iffy - make us doubtful) is completely unrelated to the meaning.
