Reply to comment by RUNdoneDIDit 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

It surprised the shit out of me! In hind sight I was surprised that he even did it. One slip up and the two little fingers in my hand would be numb for the rest of my life. Why not just remove the scar tissue and be done with it? I think he was just bored and wanted to experiment to change things up a bit.
