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)

...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 withThat 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.

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

Quoth jo, regarding W'ON's intitial post, >The Brits (and colonies)'re gonna have a hard time pronouncing 'medal' as 'metal.' (or 'mettle', for that matter) Elvis Presley said it: Don't meddle withthe property of the US male. actually tamper, I know, but anything for a pun.

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?)

Don Juan prays for praise as he preys on the gals. (Well, that's probably not true, but it works) The rays of sun were so strong, they managed to raze the building that my father did raise so many years ago!

About the dyslexicDid you see where she spelt sea with a cee? and what a horror story The bear ate the contents of the bier, leaving bare (actually, even i hear slight difference between bear and bier-- but curiously, they share a root!)
