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! Quote

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. Quote
Paddy Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 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. Quote

As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood 1 Quote
