No idea on the stick one, but i have one, it's one of my favorites:
two bodies are found dead on the floor, around them is a small puddle of water and some broken glass. what happened? ;o
1 of the dead bodies is a fish.
The other one is a cat.
The cat got its head stuck in the fish bowl and eventually drowned. The his body fell to the floor, which broke the fish bowl, then the fish suffocated.
Wild guess^
