If you throw the book away, will it come back?…..

or the folks at Boomerang

Sounds like a smartphone book for Boomers but that’s just a throw away line.

I remember when my boomerang hit the side of my elbow as I was trying to catch it—that hurt!

I bought a new boomerang but I can’t throw the old one away!!!!

What do you call a Boomerang that doesn’t come back.

A stick…

I once glued a set of false teeth onto a boomerang…

… that came back to bite me.

I threw a boomerang at a ghost the other day.

I knew it would come back to haunt me.

Genie: You have 3 wishes.

Me: I’ve seen this before. Whatever I wish for will come back and bite me in some way.

Genie: I promise that won’t happen. I’m so sure it won’t I’ll give you infinite wishes if it does.

Me: Okay. I wish for a boomerang with teeth.

Genie: You son of a …

“My boomerang won’t come back”. Charlie Drake, 1961.

I always find the “origin” stories of tools and tech fascinating. . .now, of course, I have to go googling. . .

He should have gotten it from the library, people always return it there

Title “There and Back in Australia – Travels with My Boomerang”.

I started to read that book. I put it down for a while. I was going to come back to it and finish later. When my wife accidentally threw it out, it came back to me.

Just ask everybody who watched all six Rocky movies.

OOOOOH, Cosmo ! ! For that one, I hope Roz hits you with a pie ! ! !

Many happy returns.

The story comes full circle.

If I were you Cosmo I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting your book to hit the top spot on the NY Times best seller list.

Does his reading it at Roz’s have anything to do with her food repeating on him?

Very cute, great art, Libretto around before Vaudville…

I couldn’t remember where I’d left my boomerang. Eventually it came back to me…

As a leftie I had to make my own boomerang. I threw it until I got it to come back. Watching it approach at high speed I realized I didn’t want to catch it. It wasn’t slowing down to land. It dug into the dirt where I had been standing. Yes, it returns if it misses the target, however, you are its secondary target, and it has better aim than you did.

it’s a hunting weapon, designed to return if you miss. genius design. euros throw a knife or axe and miss, now you don’t have an axe, and the other guy does.

I read a book about the history of salt. It was more interesting than you’d think. The author later wrote one about the history of cod. If history doesn’t occasionally shock and disgust you, you’re not doing it right.
