allow me to clear up the first few of these for the confused among you:

1. The bandage was wound around the wound.
   A sterile dressing was applied unto the injury (so as to prevent future contamination) in such a manner as to require that a winding motion was used to subjoin the aforementioned dressing with the aforementioned injury.
2. The farm was used to produce produce.
   A demesne was used to grow a harvest for harvesting.
3. The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.
   The ground upon which a rubbish pile was located became so overly surfeited with sundry discarded nuisances that the operations manager of the pile was, in effect, forced to disaccord any further oddments of his serviced area.
4. We must polish the Polish furniture.
   Our bureau from Łódź is both desiccant and decrepit. Would that we should apply an emending finish to inaugurate a new lambency!
5. He could lead if he got the lead out.
   This man would surpass all disputants were he only able to disencumber hisself from the proverbial 'plumbum' of phlegmy.
6. The soldiers decided to desert their dessert in the desert.
   Those dogfaced musketeers! They've but abandoned their cloying indulgences, leaving the nectareous morsels to the most barren of wilds, where the calescent consorts with the friable, and humidity holds no dominion.
7. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
   In it's infinitude of turning, the great wheel of time shall fall not once upon the selfsame thoroughfares of it's eternal course. Knowing this, knowing that the immediate is upon him, that the past is always lost, the future is never here, and the "now" is infinite, he resolved to bequeath his benefaction forthwith.
8. A bass was painted on the bass drum.
   The artistic likeness of an unspecified member of the genus Micropterus was committed, in pigments, to the low-frequency percussive.

i leave the rest to others.

Uhhhh he is helping teach people english.......and he turns out to be very cruel by inflicting these travesties of language upon them. I pity them, no person should ever have to endure such pain and suffering at the hands of the worst language I have ever learned. I know english and some spanish with the occasional random word from any language used in Europe, panzer, and some others that are not coming to me. Suprisingly they are not all about war!
