seriously though, when  you just bump it against any little thing, it hurts like hell, so imagine if you broke it...

the "funny bone" feeling people get is from hitting the ulnar nerve that run very close to the surface of the skin near the elbow. It isn't because you bumped into the humerus. Breaking the humerus would definitely hurt.

The point is that "the funny bone" is actually a nerve, and not the humerus.

What he said. Also, the tip of your elbow isn't even part of the humerus.

Is it called the funny bone because it's by the humerus? Or because of the feeling? Woah.

This. And if you severed or punctured this nerve, I imagine it would feel terrible.

I recently fell on my humerus twice while agressive inline skating and now it still hurts and is swolen. Still tingles.
