Tongue twisters

It is the seaside. a little girls walks around, asking of passers-by:

plink: Buy seashells? Nice oyster shell with mother-of pearl. Also, I have earrings, buttons and brooches made from seashells.

*bambi eyes*


She sells sea shells by the sea shore
The shells she sells are surely seashells
So if she sells shells on the seashore
I'm sure she sells seashore shells


---------------------------------------------------------

In the forest, a woodchuck is about to begin another day's work. A little plink comes by and asks:

plink: Are you a woodchuck?

Woodchuck: Yes....

plink: Can you chuck wood?

W: Y..es.... o.O

plink: Then how....

W: -.-"

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

----------------------------------------------------------------

And in a Chinese language class, plinks are struggling with maths.

Teacher: One more time class. Fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty....

plinks: Shi4 shi3 shi1 shi4 shi27... shi51... shi128.... Owww! Teacher, I hurt my mouth liao....

Have you got any favourite tongue twisters to share?
