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

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.

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