I think most people here understand his point perfectly, it's just that the whole story satisfies many people's taste for grim black humour. The clichés of the always stronger male and the always inferior female is being turned ad absurdum, in a manner that pushes it all over the top, by that it turns from claimed drama (because I still think there is more to the story than what the man just claimed afterwards) into something that makes you wanting to laugh out in grim humour.
When a piano is being pushed out of the window and three floors down falls on top your head, you certainly would not find that funny, but if you see it being done by Laurel and Hardy, you laugh.
Honestly said, when reading that story, all I thought was "What an idiot that guy is." Beyond that, I stick with my initial statement: if he would not have attempted to abuse an - assumed - weaker victim as target for his crime
that he planned in the first, he would not have gotten into trouble. He exposed himself to the chance of getting burned, and so he got.
Sometimes you catch the bear - and sometimes the bear catches you. Don't like it? Then don't go after bears.
