Well, as I said, I don't condone it and would never do it. I just imagined the picture in my head and got the giggles.
Don't you ever laugh at Funniest Home Videos when someone does something risky (or even not particularly risky) and ends up getting hurt in a spectacular way? I think you're lying if you say you don't, and laughing does not mean you
wanted the guy to hurt himself, nor that you're
happy he did. It's the image that makes us laugh, not the reality of the outcome.
Is this image funny?
Yes. But my crotch also cringes in sympathy. I bet it's the same for most people.
Same guy told me another story about his brother. One night, while the brother was fast asleep with one hand hanging off the side of the bed, he crawled beneath the bed and yanked his brother's hand as if he were the monster from every kid's nightmares. Brother has slept firmly wrapped in the bedding ever since.
I laughed like hell at the story, yet again. I also told him he was a son of a bitch for doing this to his brother, and sympathized with the brother for what was done to him, but I still laughed at the image it put in my head.
