      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”?

        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.

    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.
