To, Too, and Two made me think of homophones and homonyms. With a simple search I find a lot of sites and a lot of people with an interest in homophones. Here's the chart that shows the comparisons with bough and bow. This chart comes frommagickeys.com. It shows all the variations - homonym, homophone, homograph and heteronym.

Wikipedia's list of homonyms is 246 words long. I expect this is incomplete - there are a few sites dedicated to homophones - homophone.com is another one. I went on to find homophone jokes, which are plentiful. Here's my selection.

If you enjoyed them, these jokes come from homophonelist.com. This site has a scrollable list that is extensive. I had to scroll through it, and found a few that are equal or better than bow:
lays, laze, leas, leis, leys
pa, pah, par, parr, pas
hair, aire, are, are, ere, eyre
And then I found the winner:
ere, eyre, air, aire, are, ayre, heir
