I think it is funny

[MaxPC]

It happens...

Was it steel? If it hit anywhere at face level that could hurt. Good that he wasn't running.

It was a piece of rebar and it left a funny pattern on his forehead...
I'm glad someone figured this out. I figured it fit with all the other bar jokes, but with a different twist (rebar)

OUCH! That's going to leave a mark!

I still don't think it's funny.

Oh well...

In both scenarios the consequenses were painful enough that I didn't find them funny. Watching someone else....that's probably different.

Would it have been different if I said, "A Lutheran walked into a bar, it made a real impression on him..."?

No mixed emotions necessary...hypocrisy helps however...

i sometimes have that awful feeling of “mixed emotions.” i try not to dwell on it. it feels like my better side battling with my not-good side. maybe your word, hypocrisy, is the reason why.

I'm not sure, I know I can be hypocritical with the best/worst. But it might not have brought back memories.

It certainly brings back memories for me, which makes me appreciate the Grace of God a whole lot more than it might for some others. In my case the statement would have said, "A Baptist walked into a bar..."
Slapstick can take on many avenues and is often over the top, and I confess that this may have been. I have walked into both kinds of bars and ended up seeing stars, though caused by different things. The metal actually hurts less now than the barroom experiences.
The lesson is to be mindful...in either case.

And, in my case at least, not easily learned and accepted.

We are all growing and grace is for the journey, not just for the moment. Blessings my friend.
