Homographs in the Same Sentence


Homographs (HOM-uh-graf, HOA-muh-) are words that are spelled the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or perhaps pronunciation. Purists favor all three.

The better ones in the following list do not rely on punctuation (apostrophe's, etc.). I'm specifically looking for sentences in which the homographs appear next to each other. Contributions are welcome. When I know the source, s/he appears in parentheses.
