Funny bone

[Linkforce]

Ok, so today I hit my Funny bone really hard.  It made my arm and pinky and ring finger numb for like...30-45 seconds.  Then it got ok, but I still felt tingles.  This happened at 12 noon today, and I still feel small tingles.  theres also a bruise right where a hit it and a big scratch.  should I be worried?

Have you ever hit your funny bone before today? Nothings wrong. Its just really sensitive nerves.

Yeah... it's just when you hit a special spot.

Hence why they call it the funny bone - when you get hit, it feels funny for the rest of the day.

Of course I've hit my funny bone before, but never this hard.  I hit a thick concrete wall and it hurt like a bitch.  And I guess the fact that there's a bruise there is making it still feel tingly.

I thought that it was because the reaction people make is funny for everyone else. The more you know, I guess.

The rest of the day? It usually bugs me for about ten or so seconds. I honestly have no idea why it's called a "funny bone", nobody ever laughs... ever...

odd, I hit my funny bone today too for the first time in a long time. Not as hard though.

I laugh when I hit my funny bone.

I laugh when I hit other people's funny bones.

We would make an excellent pair.

Funny bone = shock bone? The one you hit when you put your arm back and then SHOCK?

[Razor]

yes

I laugh too, but is more of personal thing. I laugh when I feel most funkyness in my body, specially pain.

If it's a  lot of pain, I usually instead screech like a dinosaur.

...

It's true; after I got my pinky dislocated and when my doctor tried to relocated manually (with his own hands and fingers) and no anesthetics, I screamed like I'll never scream ever again (i was in 6th grade so I was like 12?) So from then on, I trained my pain screams to be screeches.

The only times I scream is when I get scared. Which only my brothers manage to do, and its getting rare-er by the year.
