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??

...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.

Thanks Anna, saves me pointing out that there are no homophones to my ears!
a) medal - pronounced - med-al or med-ul
b) metal - promounced - met-al or met-ul
c) mettle - pronounced - mett-ul (only subtly different to b)

Has anyone else noticed the unique aroma of money? There's a fresh smell to new currency, and a sharp metallic smell of a heaping handful of coins.
Do you too sense the two scents clinging to cents and bills? (Are you sense-a-ble?)
