I have been trying to construct a phrase made up entirely of homonyms,
preferably homophones. This is the longest one I have managed yet,
and it concerns a teacher speaking to a boy called Wright who has
had a spelling problem in a religious studies lesson; he says:
Write "rite" right Wright, right?
Any more?

Yes, 213 is pretty good. Thanks for the pointer. Here's a German

Wenn Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher.
