Something for copywriters to enjoy!

    Somebody posted this on facebook, something for copywriters to enjoy!

    The bandage was wound around the wound.

    The farm was used to produce produce.

    The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.

    We must polish the Polished furniture.

    He could lead if he would get the lead out.

    The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

    Since there was no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

    A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

    When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

    I did not object to the object.

    The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

    There was a row among the oarsmen on how to row.

    They were too close to the door to close it.

    A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

    To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

    The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

    After a number of injections my jaw got number.

    Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

    I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

    How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

    It was at night, I opened the window and this black furry thing flew in. I had no choice, I had to bat the bat. Yes I did, I killed it right then and there!

    This one could be expanded a bit.

    "We must polish the polished Polish furniture."

    Or maybe there was a typo and he meant:

    "We must polish the Polish furniture."

    Also, someone should come up with something using all seven different meanings of "slough" which have many different pronunciations.

    The dashing knight said good night to his lady fair. Then told her that he would see her again by the sea.

    Even though she knows that your nose is too big, she will still go with you to the ball and have a ball while she is bouncing her ball.

    Though he made it through the trough, it was tough because he was allergic to the bough of the tree that was blocking his progress and it made him cough and hiccough.

    There was the strange case of a girl who tripped over a case. She did indeed slip and tore her slip and hurt her back in the process, but the silly thing came back and did it all again!

    I just saw the line below and immediately thought of this thread:

    The English Language is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though.

    Then there was the tale of a cat with no tail that was chasing a rat while wearing a tinfoil hat. He wasn't able to catch the rat because he was too fat and got hit in the face by a flying bat....what do you think of that?

    Your little pet sized model tinfoil hat would be a good fit for some of the pinheads that we have around here.;)

    I saw this blurb below and immediately thought of this thread:

    This Strange English Language

    We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
    but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
    One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
    yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
    You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
    yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
    If the plural of man is always called men,
    why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
    If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
    and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
    If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
    why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
    Then one may be that, and three would be those,
    yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
    and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
    We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
    but though we say mother, we never say methren.
    Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
    but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

    I guess I need relearn English:

    We'll begin with OX, with many being OXEN,
    So why didn't the plural of BOX become BOXEN?

    We know that the plural of MOOSE is MOOSE,
    Yet should not the plural of GOOSE also be GOOSE?

    We live in a HOUSE yet may own many HOUSES,
    While a lone MOUSE is never one of many MOUSES.

    We cook with a PAN and have a shelf full of PANS,
    Yet a MAN will never be part of a group of MANS.

    If you give me the BOOT and a pair is BOOTS,
    Why not have the plural of FOOT as FOOTS?

    Now if the plural of BOOTH is BOOTHS,
    Why not have a TOOTH in a mouthful of TOOTHS?

    We also have THIS with the plural of THESE,
    Yet HIS in the plural is never HESE,
    And the plural of SIS could not be SESE.

    Oh, yes, the plural of FATHER is really FATHERS,
    And marching in step SISTER becomes SISTERS.

    And finally the plural pronouns are THEY, THEIRS, and THEM.
    Why wouldn't the masculine be HEY, HEIRS, and HEM?
