Heard they might be planning to trim back the silver and gold content of the medallion alloys for the next Olympics. All I can say is:

Don't meddle with the medal metal!

the set-up line above is an untruth, but then again you never know!

Any more triple-homophonic sentences out there?

You can test your mettle by opposing the attempts to meddle with the medal metal.

I vote for Dr. Bill. The Brits (and colonies)'re gonna have a hard time pronouncing 'medal' as 'metal.' (or 'mettle', for that matter)

belm, if you're around:

in school we learned something about a green worm moving toward a green glass, and it sounded like "Une vare vare vas vare un vare vare"[sic]

Can you write that out in french??

Can you bear to bare your arm for a needle, or will you just take a Bayer aspirin?

With full credit to my word-hero, Douglas Hofstaeder, here's a meaningful sentence:
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

...and then there's always

Tom where Tim had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the Professor.

which does make sense if punctuated properly. Similarly with

That that is is that that is not is not that that is is not that that is not that that is not is not that that is is not that so?

Not very deep thinking, either of them, but there it is.
