`funny bone'

[user_gary]

So did Rahul lose weight? Yes, he did. The otherwise lazy guy has started spending quality time in the gym. As for Amit, he has discovered his funny bone.
What is the meaning of `funny bone'?
Could anyone explain the same?

In this context it probably means just 'sense of humour' - he's developed a tast for comedy.

Strictly, it's a reference to the humerus bone, near which there's a nerve (near the elbow). When you 'hit your funny-bone' it's not humorous; it feels funny (odd, strange,uncomfortable).

funny bone is the part of the elbow containing a very sensitive nerve that is painful if you hit it against something

It's a pun - humerus/humorous.
