I've always wondered about the funny bone. About a year ago I got my funny bone hit really hard by one of those pogo stick like swings that bounce up and down while you stand on it. (Techically, you're supposed to sit on it, but that's alot less fun...and whole lot less likely to give you a life long reminder of something stupid you did as a kid.)
