It's not as good typed out, but this is what I do when people come up with this kinda idea in my bike shop (it's either riding bent forks or bent handlebars, but sometimes it's crashed carbon forks)
I lean back, look at their face from several angles and ask them why they don't like there face looking the way it does now, and whether they had thought about having plastic surgery as an alternative to extreme road rash?
I always do it with a smile, I'm really not trying to be mean, just graphic.
(BTW, Selim seems to think that it's to re-bend steel bars, I'm slightly skeptical but we both agree that if you've bent alloy bars, it's time for the recycling bin)
