A guy I used to work with pointed out the "Jagger Bushes" thing to me. Here's another good one from around here:

Say the word's Pull, Pool, and Pole.

Around here the first two are almost always pronouced "pool" and often the third is as well.

I once asked a friend when at his house where a piece of electronic equipment was, and he said "By the Pool." I was kinda surprised because being outdoors would have ruined it. but what he was saying was that it was by the "pole" in the basement we standing in. That was when I realized that some people say all three the same.

I have fun with my wife on this one, she has the limited first two form. Most people around here will recognize that Pole is different, but I have gotten into arguments with people about the first two.

Best,
Bill
