Homophones !!!

This is bound to give rise to plenty of jokes.  Did I say "rise" ?   Is that another word for "erect"  .... and in that case can we include "Homo-erectus" in the HAHAHAHAHA machine somewhere?  Or how about  we show the history of the "Homo-erectus" in a "Homo-graph" ?  Or how about keeping a page in your telephone book with the telephone numbers of your gay friends and titling it "Homo-phones"

"Now our school is going to be associated with homosexuality," Woodger complained, according to Torkildson, who posted the exchange on his Facebook page.

Torkildson says he was careful to write a straightforward explanation of homophones. He knew the "homo" part of the word could be politically charged, but he thought the explanation of that quirky part of the English language..........
