What if a stick falls into a black hole whereby, one end of the stick has breached the event horizon and the other is still "outside" the event horizon? How many ends does this stick have?

In we consider a very long stick that spans the distance between two black holes, and the ends of the stick breach the event horizons of the two black holes, the question must be asked "does this stick have any ends"?
