"The nose is soft and sensitive, and the nasal passage is connected to the eyes via the tear ducts. Normally this allows the lacrimal fluid (tears) to drain through the nose. But when the fluid build-up in the nose is sufficient, the flow can block the normal draining path, so that the tears that are produced have nowhere to go".
Joshua Smith

So I would say that there no tear ducts in your fingers.
Just saying. ;D

I take it this happened very recently?
And why is it called a funny bone, when there is never anything funny about the pain...
That is unless its someone else, and you can laugh at their expense? 8)
