Stick those landings...

Justin throws Clark into a haystack and says
'You've really got to stick (practice on?) those landings, Clark.'

Hi, If the landing sticks, it means the plane lands correctly, ie the pilot uses perfect tchnique. At the Olympics, they often say 'That gymnast stuck the landing', meaning she didn't wobble or take an extra step. It's a joke, since Clark is not a plane or a gymnast.
