Full Metal Dog

Photo of a trophy with a running dog at the top and the words Lead Dogs
I saw this delightfully heterophonic trophy at my local Bruegger's bagel shop. (I wonder if it's actually made from lead?)

It reminds me of a time when an acquaintance of mine had seen a job opening for a Lead Organizer, and because she was very concerned about lead poisoning in children, she was interested in applying.

We had to break it to her gently that the organization was probably talking about a lead (rhymes with bead) organizer, not a lead (rhymes with bread) organizer.

English. Ya gotta love it.
