Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for August 21, 2023

The problem is that he hadn’t made the first payment yet; no deposit, no return.

Eh not they has drone boomerangs these days.

He bought a hunting boomerang. Those don’t return, but they can fly a couple feet off the ground straight for 100 yards.

You do know what you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back don’t you??? A STICK! ;D

It worked so well it went back to the manufacturer.

The ghost of a whipped, sweetened egg mixture that keeps coming back: a BOO-meringue.

If you love something, let it go…

I’d be interested to know where he bought it. Their policies are very generous!

My stupid yo-yo would never do the tricks that all of the expert’s yo-yos would do. Not sure why that was.

I’ll take the refund and replacement.

Duck Horace… here it comes…. !@#$%^&*()_+

Real customer service? That IS a joke.

Hope Horace isn’t in its path when it decides to make an unannounced return…aaaaaacckk!

OK Boomerang!!

Sure – send me another one that doesn’t work.

Boomerang: “That’s it! I’m leaving you!” Wife: “Oh, you’ll be back.”

While boomerangs are classic toys,

They’ve also served as bird decoys,

At times percussive instruments

And fire starters (minus flints?).

As weapons, whether used to hunt

Or fight in war, they’re always blunt.

Forget the kind you’ve likely seen

In comic books or on the screen.

For boomerangs to change direction,

Throwing angles need perfection.

Battle types do not return,

For reasons people ought to learn.

For instance, any two-way flight

Requires wood that’s much too light

To strike that hard, and once it hits,

A boomerang will call it quits.

On further thought, that’s just as well:

I’d think that if your foes can’t tell

A way to dodge or block your throw,

You too might take an awful blow.

Sure, fiction writers like to add

Variety, but don’t be had.

If you don’t get the physics right, you

Find your plans come back to bite you.

—me

It was a boomewrong.

this is serious!

Replacement – I’ll let you know when it doesn’t get here.

Customer service woes.
