Reply to comment by Ensabanur81 in TIL that the 'funny bone' is not actually a bone in the arm, but a nerve. The ulnar nerve is connected from shoulder to hand and is protected by bones and muscles. As it passes thru the elbow it is only protected by the cubital tunnel, making it the most prone area in the body to 'strike a nerve'. by deddPan

That they are! At least neither nerve is super sensitive now.

Same, I'd be pretty annoyed if it betrayed me AND haunted me.
