Brain Teasers
Yes, Cap'n!
Each of the two sentences below can be rephrased to include all three forms of a triple homophone. The two sentences have nothing to do with each other -- they each represent a different homophone triplet.
For example (though this is only a double homophone): "The ceremony was the correct one." can be rephrased as "It was the right rite."
1. Yes, Cap'n, my ocular organ was lost some time ago.
2. I was familiar with the recently-acquired wildebeest.
Bonus question: What is unusual about these two homophone triplets?
