you have evolved to avoid such incidents. perhaps this trait will be passed down to your children and we will all have a day when the human race will wonder what actually the funny bone was.
True – the only way humans would lose their funny bone is if everyone with a funny bone died out for some reason, and thus only mutants who lacked a funny bone would survive. Since I know of no current mutation that causes the funny bone to disappear, wiping out everyone with a funny bone would just kill all humans.
you probably accidentally conditioned yourself not to do it. Hitting your funny bone is associated with a displeasurable experience, so you associate the actions that lead up to hitting your funny bone with displeasure, eventually resulting in you not doing those things any more.
I also find it hilarious that we’re still calling it a funny bone
As long as you’re flailing, why not taking up juggling and amaze friends and bewilder strangers. Be careful when flailing in public, you may offend a deaf person inadvertently.
Well that last panel inspires me to work out now …
Love panel 3. Looks like my marriage except he does the flailing and I have the fits.

I remember whacking my elbow and getting that weird, numb-sort-of-hollow pain too. Nothing HUMERUS about it!
Ha! I see what you did there.
I can’t put my FINGER on it, but something about your comment is just hARMful. Are you a HANDY sort of person? I think I might have NAILED it.
The NERVE of these jokers, I swear…
the lot of you are boneheads
Dude Bug jr? Nice.
So it’s not just me who stopped hitting my funny bone! I was wondering why it stopped. Still am, for that matter.

Oh, your time for a repeat is coming. I’m in my 40’s and I still smack that sucker once in a while.

Ps. some people have gotten a side job doing sign language interpetations at funerals.
I’m afraid that when thinking of a good pun for this one, I’m boned.
