Which Bone Is the Funny Bone?

The "funny bone" isn't funny or a bone at all! It's the ulnar nerve that travels along the inside of your elbow. If you strike this nerve, it sends a tingling or numb feeling, usually attributed to a "funny" sensation, from which the nerve gets its nickname "funny bone." This nickname is supposed to be the result of putting together the effect it produces with the similarity of the word for the bone, the "humerus," which is adjacent to the ulnar nerve, to the word "humorous," thus being a clever bit of wordplay.
