    why do they call this a funny bone

    The "funny bone" got its nickname because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it. But your funny bone isn't actually a bone at all. Running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve lets your brain know about feelings in your fourth and fifth fingers.

    If I may ,  I'd like to embellish on Lindilou's answer. See here:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_nerve
