Interesting question. I am not sure that there is such a thing as a funny bone. Usually it is referred to the elbow when it is struck it and you have unusual pain. But not everyone responds the same with trauma. There is a rare condition where individuals do not respond to pain at all. Hopefully you do not have that condition.
Not a real thing.
Funny bone is an expression where you hit your elbow or other area of your body where a nerve is close to the skin and bone. It then irritates the nerve and gives you a peculiar feeling like a small electric shock. I hope this answers your question. Please make your parents aware that you asked this question. Thank you
