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 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.

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.

The coo doesn’t bounce. It 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'm going to use a version of this if anyone ever brings up the whole duck-quack-echo thing.
