When I was young, I was obsessed with joke books, sports, and homophones. I guess some things never change. My lifelong appreciation for words that are pronounced the same as others but differ in meaning has had some value – it’s good when penning (punning?) blog entry titles and when trying to induce an eye roll from Beni.
This thread was inspired by our daughter’s lifelong love for carrots (a classic homophone) – as a toy, not so much a food item – which thereby reminded me of one of my favorite jokes (your garden-variety kind) from back in the day (i.e., yesterday):
Q: How do you know that carrots are good for your eyesight?
A: Have you ever seen a rabbit with glasses?
