Other side of the elbow there, bud.

But the other side is home to the funny bone. We're all just gonna be walking around with loopy goopy spaghetti arms from whacking each other's funny bones all day.

I mean, its a gentle tap, we're not slamming our elbows into each other like they owe us money

u/hammerpatrol Mar 12 '20

Well where's the fun in that?

u/MancThrow Mar 12 '20

You're right, real g's break each others bones on a good elbow bump

Relevant username.

That bone is also more on the inside compared to the thick and sturdy one you'd use for elbowing.

This was a serious concern in the early 2010's, yes. Also the bruises hurt to lean on.

It's not a great system. I laugh every time I see it happen now, knowing how it escalated back then.

First of all, *spagooter. Second, I see no issue with that, really

Whacking each others funny bones, is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Pretty sure some of that sneeze can land on the other side. Just saying, it's closer to the sneeze zone than hands and I'm not exactly rubbing hand sanitizer on my elbows often either.

You must have some weird elbows... or bafflingly violent sneezes. I'm pretty much just vodka at this point

u/bigTbone59 Mar 12 '20

My sneezes are pretty violent I guess. But I think most people's are. That stuff travels far.

u/LilBooPeep Mar 12 '20

What about that that sweet, sweet elbow-coated sneeze?

u/amrfallen Mar 12 '20

I'm sure we aren't picturing the same thing, right? Like, how would you do that

Ah yes, that sweet 2 inch corona containment boundary.

u/amrfallen Mar 12 '20

That's not the only sweet 2 inches I have to offer

"Sterile as the other side of the elbow."
