Take an A4 sheet of paper. Place in on a flat surface, such as a table. No matter how hard you push it, it remains stationary.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
It would have been funnier spoken, and if he had said "stationery". ;)
Then it would have been playing on the fact that "stationary" and "stationery" are homophones. Then it would sound like he was making a claim about the physical properties of paper (it would be impossible to overcome its inertia, i.e., it would remain stationary), while merely making a claim about its function/design (used for writing, i.e., it is stationery). It doesn't make any sense, comedy wise, with "stationary".
I've enjoyed making the obvious more obvious, and killing off the joke.
Best wishes,
Bob
One could argue that in your experience of enjoyment the joke, while dead, has fulfilled its raison d'être. ;-)

However, the two words have the same origin; the latin 'stationem'. In the middle ages roving peddlars were the norm. Among the first merchants with a fixed, or stationary, location were book sellers, often licensed by a university. The Company of Stationers, a London livery company, was founded in 1556.
And not a lot of people know that.
