Homographs and Homophones
A homograph is a word with two or more different
meanings. One example is the word
needles

used to describe the thin, flat leaves on evergreen trees
or the movable pointer on a compass.
You can create a joke that plays with the two different
meanings. Here’s an example:
Q:

pine trees?

They both have needles
