Wednesday Words ~ toe and tow

Someone wrote, "He needs to tow the line."  Tow and toe sound alike, but they don't mean the same thing.  They are homophones.  Wanting to use these two words for a Wednesday post, I googled "tow toe" images and discovered these "pink toe trucks."  They are actual tow trucks in Seattle.  The owner obviously had a great sense of humor, and I'm sure people remember it.  The truck in front, the one with the left big toe, was on its way to a history museum when this picture was taken.

Toe = five on each foot
Tow = to pull something
