How to Make a Drunken Sailor Drool

A drunken sailor became totally wasted at a Georgetown bar so the bartender asked the bouncer to take him outside. The bouncer recognizes the sailor as a former high school buddy and they began to reminisce about days gone by when they tried to join a travelling circus. After a few tall stories, the sailor recalls the time the bouncer was rehearsing on stage and he slipped, falling onto the first row. His head and neck bounced off of the hard seat and he passed out. Bewildered circus performers knew not what to do; they ran out of the big top, leaving their fellow entertainer to fend for himself. It is now 25 years later and the bouncer finally realizes what happened to him all those years ago. He bounced around the Midwest for numerous years, until finally making it back to Georgetown for his current employment. The anger in him swells up and he cannot restrain himself – he lashes out at the sailor with his Billy club and smacks him on the side of the head and neck. A first-year medical student walking towards the establishment to celebrate passing gross anatomy notices the blow and exclaims, “that bouncer just hit that poor man at Erb’s point.” A third-year medical student accompanying the M1 rushes over to help the sailor and realizes the right side of the sailor’s upper lip is “drooping”. Oh, no, the M3 hears the sailor exclaim, “I feel like I am drooling.” Based on this scenario, what nerve was likely injured?
