It’ll become funny once I understand the double meaning. What does it mean the way it is written “coo sticks”? I get the “coo” as the sound of the pidgeon, but the “sticks” escapes me.
There word “sticks” is being used in the sense “adheres”. So the “coo” doesn’t bounce around in a series of reflections, but instead remains attached to the first surface it strikes.
The pun is “acoustics”- which is a branch of physics that deal with sound (and also the term for acoustic qualities of a particular enviroment; which is something that is very carefully controlled on a stage)
Maybe it’s because I’m not a native speaker, but I didn’t find it funny at all. I got the A coo sticks = Acoustics right away, but it seems forced. Saying a sound ‘sticks’ is not how one would describe a sound not traveling/bouncing.
Took me an embarrassing amount of time.
I still dont get it.
What to say out loud?
Is it suu sticks.
Kuu sticks
Or zoo sticks?
A coo sticks
Acoosticks
Acoustics
ok so far.

The coo doesn’t bounce. It sticks.

You win. Thank you.
I needed the “u” here to grasp it.
But honestly I think my stupidity on that one is funnier than the joke itself.
A coo sticks.
Cooing, is the term for the noise pigeons make.
Honestly I would translate a pidgeon sound with an R
Like
Chrooo.
But thats just my 2 cents.
I mean, since when did animal noises get accurately described?
Like yeah.
I mean.
I have seen some documentary using leafs and straws to blow which sound like fucking invitations. Or af least should…
you know, I am some kind of a scientist myself
