The title is a pun headquartered at the latin title for the bone the "humerus" (ME from Latin humerus, umerus higher arm, shoulder; Gothic ams shoulder, Greek ?mos) which feels like "funny". It could also be potentially since of the sensations you think on your arm while you strike the bone trapping the ulnar nerve.

Gepeto and bpositive got it right. It's a play on the name "humerus", the bone that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

I think it's because you laugh at the people when they hit it.

it's a compassionate attempt to make light of somthing painful, if you laugh when in pain it does'nt hurt as bad or as long or so it seems.{especially for children}
