Everything - by The Rusty Can

Say these quickly!

January 17th 2008 04:32
When I was 8, a teacher got the class to say this:

She sells seashells by the seashore,
but the shells she sells
are not seashore shells.


As an 8 year old, there was some considerable head swelling when I was the first to get this tongue twister out…

which led me to another one:

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


If only I’d found the answer to this one earlier – you wouldn’t believe how many people have offered numerical answers after I’d explained to them they’re supposed to try to say it, not answer it. Well, the ‘answer’ to this ‘question’ is:


As much wood
as a woodchuck would,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.


Too easy, right?

So try to say this really fast:

Irish wristwatch

Do you have a favourite tongue twister?

I struggle with normal speech at times, let alone tongue twisters..

ahahaha.... I just had way too much time as a kid - I'm sure you had better things to do than to try to say "Irish wristwatch" over and over...

Have a great weekend, Tracy

I did try them as a kid, but I wasn't really that great at them. It was good fun though.

Hope you have a great weekend too,

Tracy
