When you ace your last tests Like you did all the rest, That's some more "A"s!

In New Zealand you see An aborigine, That's a Maori.

My wife and I were outside cleaning up the rest of our halloween decorations. I was walking to the garbage with a decorative hay bale.

wife: "Hay" where are you going with that?

When my kids were little, every time we were driving and I would see one of the big rolls of Hay (it was usually straw, but whatever), I would say emphatically "Hey" and point.

Still works, twenty some years later.
