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!
