Learning Spanish - Some Fun Items

Consider how you would explain to a foreign English language student; why there is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in a hamburger, neither apple nor pine in a pine-apple. 

Consider these examples of the ambiguities found in the English language: 

We must polish the Polish furniture. 

The bandage was wound around the wound. 

He could lead if he would get the lead out. 

Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 

I did not object to the object. 

There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 

They were too close to the door to close it. 

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. 

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? I shed my clothes in the shed. 

We have noses that run and feet that smell. 

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

Mostly, as native English speakers we take the English language for granted but if we explore some of its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is
it a pig. 

Of course the Spanish languages has many comparable ambiguous phrases and paradoxes which I sure you will have great fun with, but at least you are prepared.
