Answer:
I feel all tingly and it feels really cool.
Answer: Hitting the inside of your elbow (on your funny bone) will produce a tingling or prickly kind of dull pain running down to your fingers.
The bump at that end of your elbow is the end of a bone, the "humerus", but what produces the feeling is the ulnar nerve which passes over it. That's what you hit to get the feeling. If you've watched any Martial Arts movies or Mr. Spock on Star Trek you know that pinching a nerve can have strange effects.
Aside: There are two thoughts on why it's called a funny bone:
* One group thinks its called "funny" because of the weird feeling, and it's identified as a "bone" because of the hard bump under your skin. * Other folks think it's called a "funny" bone because some early punster heard the bone was a "humerus" and corrupted the word to "humorous" a cheap joke.
Answer:
This is a different user from the ones above.
Some people say they feel a slight tingling or strange feeling, but I usually feel a numbing shock in my forearm for about 5 seconds. It varies from person to person.

In the human body is there really a bone named funny bone?
No there is no such bone. There is a nerve that when it is hit in the right place 'feels like a funny bone, but it it is not 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. It's also one of the nerves that controls some movement of your hand.You get that 'funny feeling' when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus, the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder. Tapping your funny bone doesn't do any damage to your elbow, arm, or ulnar nerve. But it sure feels strange!
