Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 July 1915 — Your “Funny Bone. [ARTICLE]

Your “Funny Bone.

When you bump your nose or chin you bump the flesh and bone and not a perve, consequently you feel a sensation or pain just where the blow was struck, if you strike the point of your elbow it will be just the same, it’s only when you strike that little hollow between the big central bone of the elbow and the little inside bone that the tickling, tingling sensation is felt. In the little hollow you strike one of the large trunk nerves that spring between the’ vertebra at the base of the neck and runs through the arm to the wrist. In the hollow of the elbow the nerve lies over a bone. When you strike that spot you feel a tingling sensation which isn’t exactly funny, but because it tickles the bone is called the “funny, bone.” Milwaukee Journal. ' "
