Laurel looks at his watch and says "I have 1:45."
Hardy looks at his and says "I have quarter to two too."
OK - how many other situations can result in a sentence with three homophones in a row?

EmKay - #1 is great, #2 doesn't make much sense.
Special_K - repeating the same word doesn't count. "Homophones" are words that sound alike but are spelled (and defined) differently.
Gaynell J - that isn't a sentence.
Lauren, you are brilliant. I'd love to have you and your spouse to dinner at our house. The fun we could have over toasted hazelnuts and Madeira!

Osoma, keep trying. Like wine, people eventually mature. You may not even know the difference between "homophone", "homoginized" and "homosexual". They all start with "Homo", after all. I have clients who only read the first paragraph of any e-mail messages. If I have something important to say to them, I send a dozen small ones.
