    This would be much more enjoyable without the reply at the bottom.

          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.

          ok so far.

          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.

            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.

            The coo doesn’t bounce. It sticks.

            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)

            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.

          Honestly I would translate a pidgeon sound with an R

          Like

          Chrooo.

          But thats just my 2 cents.
