That one at least you have chance of getting right (or if not have a good laugh). 

The one I could never get right was: "The sixth sick sheikh's sixth son's sick."

I posted that last night and only when reading back this morning realised that I had got it wrong!

Should be: "The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick." Much more difficult!

Hmmmm, tough. You certainly can't say it quickly, unlike:-

"She sells sea shells, by the sea shore" or "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper", which seem very easy by comparison.

When I was very young a neighbour boy, a year or two older than me, used to tease me with this one:

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

I couldn't get it right then, but it seems easy now.

The full version is

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
