Oh, my boomerang won’t come back…

It might have been funnier if the counter was labelled “Returns”… :D

funny

Give it a minute….it’ll come back to you.

Q: What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back? A: a stick

Read the conditions on the package: NO RETURNS ACCEPTED

VERY VERY VERY old joke. Did I mention ‘VERY’? :)

She already has it.

As a lefty “normal” boomerangs don’t return unless thrown right handed, I can’t throw well right handed, so I carved a left handed boomerang. I made myself a reinforced catching glove, anticipating I would get it to return. I went to one of our less used city parks and began practicing. I guess I scared the neighbors because a police officer showed up and asked what I was doing. I explained and he left, either satisfied, or convinced I was harmless crazy. Anyway, shortly there after I threw my boomerang and to my surprise it began to climb into the sky and then began coming back at me, not returning to, but coming at me. As I readied my boomerang catcher’s mitt I had an epiphany, twelve ounces of hard wood was spinning toward me, specifically, my head. I ran to one side and hid behind an oak tree. The boomerang tried to bury itself in the ground where I had stood.

His boomerang won’t return.

If you see her suddenly ducking, you know it has returned…

A boomerang that doesn’t return (a boom) was usually thrown by me and can be found on my neighbor’s roof, along with the frisbee, dog’s ball, balsa wood airplane, etc. All except the yo. Which went down and never came back up. It is dangling from its string in neighbor’s front yard, where I left it as a peace offering.

I suppose that, naturally, you don’t have the receipt, either!

Enjoying all the comments and everything I’m learning here about boomerangs. As for the cartoon, if I were the one at the exchange counter, my response to the customer would have to be, “Tough luck.”

Stick (stik): boomerang that doesn’t work.

Just sit, and think about it, a moment… it’ll come back to you.

So if it works, it returns and if it doesn’t work, it gets returned?
