Boomerang throwing joke humor
A boy who was fascinated by a demonstration of boomerang-hurling finally succeeded in talking his father into getting him one. The boy practiced faithfully with his boomerang until he became as expert with it as an Australian bushman. Then, when his birthday came along, all he wanted as a present from his father was a new boomerang.
A few weeks later, a friend of the family heard that the boy had been placed in an institution. He called the father on the telephone. "What happened?" he asked.
The father groaned. "You remember I got him a new boomerang for his birthday?" he sighed. "Well, he went out of his mind trying to throw the old one away."
