I saw the ember and laughed. It looked like it went in but, I figured we would have seen some sort of reaction from Hurley. I'm a bit twisted I find those kind of gaffs funny.
If you even watch "The Hitcher" (1986) There is a sceen where C. Thomas Howell Gets slammed on to the hood of a Cop's car in front of the dinner. If you watch carefully you will see C.T.H kicks one of the cops in the back of the head...SMACK! We laughed so hard.
