Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,
Wouldnt it have been more humourous to the story for him to lob a rock!?

yeah, but it wouldnt have been a good example (im laughing as im typing) (im sorry god). But seriously, he was setting an example by saying (without saying) hey look im perfect but yet I have compassion and I didnt cast the first stone, so take my example and let it guide you, like teaching us that we are no one to judge any body.

Absolutely not.
The Christian church is lying by saying that Jesus is without "sin". Usually "sin" is defined to be some sort of wrongdoing. Jesus repeatedly called for torture or killing of people, such as in "rich men go to hell". He is therefore like the rest of us, with some good and some not so good tendencies. Jesus himself apparently recognized this when he said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". He did not cast the first stone. He was able to get his lesson across without displaying himself as an Almighty God who can do no wrong. This is probably one of the best quotes attributable to Jesus. If Jesus had "lobbed a rock", he would have been hypocritical.

The interesting thing about John 8:2-11 is after twice stooping, twice finger writing on the ground (as if first with the finger of God and secondly with the fingers of man, as noted in Ex 31 & Dan 5) and twice arising, he cleared the room of accusers who condemn via law (Jn 5:45; 2Cor 3). Said scribes and Pharisees, also called hypocrites, fools, vipers, and blind guides in Mt 23, who notably sat in Moses' seat: Law.
The correct wording is: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone" (not cast the first stone). Cast a stone is allegory for cast a law, which is a ministration of condemnation and a ministration of death (2Cor 3:7,9).
The POINT is that His Grace does not condemn(law): Jn 3:17; not even when an adult is caught in adult-ery.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Humourous? No, absolutely not. Jesus was making a point, that none of the others who were wanting to kill the lady were without sin; He himself was, though, yes.
If you want humor in the Bible. though, go read John chapter 9. VERY funny!

Yeah, but only if he'd thrown it at the bunch who dragged that gal over to him...
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
*hurl*
"Owwwww! Let he who is without sin work on his aim" Shouted the priest.

He was without sin so eligible, but in love would not have sought to hurt one of his beloved brothers or sister

He could have lobbed a mountain.

Given that the incident in question referred to the stoning of his wife, probably not.
