[Lexicog] English homonyms

[David Frank]

On the subject of English homophones...

A termite walks into a bar. He asks, "Is the bar tender here?"

I went to the butcher shop the other day and bet the butcher $50 that he
couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too
high."

Two antennas fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the
reception was excellent.

Thanks, John, for your great list of homophones and homographs.

How about the following three examples?:

Time  flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a  banana.
Time  flies - you cannot - their flight is too erratic.
