A stick.
The joke “What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back? A stick” plays on the fundamental expectation and understanding of what a boomerang is supposed to do. Traditionally, a boomerang is a curved throwing tool that, when thrown correctly, returns to the thrower. It’s this unique returning characteristic that distinguishes a boomerang from other objects. The punchline humorously subverts this expectation by suggesting that if a boomerang doesn’t fulfill its primary function of returning, it’s essentially just a regular stick.
Whatever you want, it can’t hear you.
