When do you laugh?

Obviously when something is funny duh.


Where is the funny bone located in the body?

At your elbow where the Humerus bone ( upper arm )connects with the radius and Ulna ( lower arm )It is not a bone but a spot on the elbow where the ulnar nerve runs close to the surface and produces a sharp tingling sensation if knocked against the bone but it hurts really bad if you hit it and I'm sure everyone has done that at least once....AnswerIt's your elbow, it's only a nick name though, it's called the funny bone because it connects the 'humerous' or upper arm bone to the bones in your lower arm. I don't know why ^^^ is listed under answer because the first answer is correct. the second is absolutely incorrect. There is no 'bone' at all. Just the largest exposed nerve in the body!


Can you change the sound of your laugh?

anyone can just dont laugh too quick because the real laugh will come out so just think about the laugh you practiced before you come out too quick


Is the funny bone a real bone?

The "funny bone" is the extension of the humerus bone (upper arm bone) into the elbow joint with the ulna (larger forearm bone). At the inside of the elbow, the ulnar nerve is located where the olecranon, or upper end of the ulna , meets the epicondyle, or lower end of the humerus. If the joint is struck, there is a tingling (a funny or odd sensation) and sometimes a temporary numbness in the lower arm, because the signals along the ulnar nerve are interrupted.This has little to do with the name of the upper arm bone being the humerus (humorous), which is the Latin word for "shoulder."


What part of the body is sometimes called the funny bone?

The humerus, which is the upper arm bone, is sometimes called the funny bone but, strictly speaking, this is not correct.In reality, the "funny bone" is not the bone at all, nor even the elbow, but the ulnar nerve at the end of the humerus where it meets the elbow. The ulnar nerve is the nerve that runs near the ulna bone of the lower arm. It is the nerve that sends messages to your brain about sensations in your fourth and fifth fingers. It's also one of the nerves that controls some movement of your hand.When this ulnar nerve is jolted or bumped against the end of the humerus, it creates the odd tingling sensation which has given rise to the term "funny bone".

Do you laugh at jokes which are not funny just out of politeness?

umm depends.. if it is a little laugh a little but if it ain't just laugh a little hahahaNo I don't laugh if something isn't truly funny. It actually really really pisses me off when other people do, because they perpetuate the massively irritating jokes by making those kind of people think they are actually humorous. On many an occasion I have had people tell me I am way too serious and just cant take a joke, but this is ridiculous. I laugh hysterically around the right people, not to mention when something is actually funny. Considering this, I normally ask people when they say this, why don't you just tell jokes that are actually funny? Enjoying humor with something is a privilege earned, if you just expect people to laugh at every joke you try to tell, it just seems to me like your an entitled jerk.


If something is really funny how can you forget to laugh?
