English isn't easy...
Can you read this right the first time?

1.. The bandage was wound around the wound.

2.. The farm was used to produce produce.

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

4.. We must polish the Polish furniture.

5.. He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6.. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert

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

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

9.. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10.. I did not object to the object.

11.. The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12.. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

13.. They were too close to the door to close it.

14.. The buck does funny things when the does are present.

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

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

17.. The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

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

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

20.. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Hey!! These are tough!!
I don't care how slow you read 'em!!

Yeah, but like I said - I read a lot so I'm used to seeing all the same words having completely different meanings

Vitasoy · 08-30-2005, 07:58 AM

A couple got mine, but I'm half awake.

georgeyw · 08-30-2005, 07:59 AM

I think you are full of shit if you say you got them all. Once you read the sentence and understand the context then it's easy but not before on a couple of them.

English would be a very confusing language to learn as a 2nd language!

Umm, it's pretty easy to know which one goes in the sentence just by how it's written. You can't just interchange words because they are spelled the same.

Of course - but there are other elements to take into account aswell.

For instance - I don't know about the rest of you but I can't remember the last time I used or heard 'row' (argument) in a sentence?

"12.. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row."

Personally I read that straight away as row (row of tables). But having read the sentence see that row 'argument' is what fits. However if you heard someone say this sentence it would be a whole different story due to the pronunciation.

Row is an ugly word when you look at it isnt' it?.

English is an enormous language and there are many words that are rarely or by certain demographics(not taking into consideration slang here that's another topic).

re Peaches - I actually hadn't read all the posts before replying. Probably should have worded "Anyone who..". But at the same time I don't believe you

Slick · 08-30-2005, 08:32 AM

How about this one -

The pimp couldn't pimp his ride because his hoe didn't give him his money, so he hit her with a hoe.

MikeB · 08-30-2005, 08:46 AM

I had trouble on 5 of them, the rest were smooth sailing

Jakke PNG · 08-30-2005, 08:51 AM

I got them all on the first try, but my native language isn't english..and it's the easiest language I've ever had to learn.

Joesho · 08-30-2005, 09:17 AM

nexcom28 · 08-30-2005, 10:13 AM

Seriously, if you can not read these you guys had better go back to school.

lesbodojo · 08-30-2005, 10:48 AM

What's up BigB? [holla]

Theo · 08-30-2005, 11:00 AM

hehe i didnt have problem at all. More likely because it's not my native language and the learning process for me was different than the one that is teached in usa & uk.

Theo · 08-30-2005, 11:02 AM
