  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 of thyme.

  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 row of oarsmen about how to row.
  13. The two were too close to the door to close it.
  14. While baking the doughs I bought for a buck for my dear, I thought "a buck deer does funny things when the does are present".
  15. It seems a seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
  16. While sewing, 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?
  21. I barely saw the bear.
  22. Looking for four foremen.
Anymore?
