    Anyone know any good tongue twisters? It's all good practice for getting that last lick of curry sauce out of the tray, y'know;)

    nope ... I'm tripping up over the single entendres. So long as it's clean ... we'll all be fine.

    Read this thread with tongue firmly in cheek ;)

    Betty Botter had some butter,
    "But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
    If I bake this bitter butter,
    it would make my batter bitter.
    But a bit of better butter--
    that would make my batter better."

    So she bought a bit of butter,
    better than her bitter butter,
    and she baked it in her batter,
    and the batter was not bitter.
    So 'twas better Betty Botter
    bought a bit of better butter.

    and on the slitted sheet I sit.

    A traditional one for yez:)

    I am not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son. I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes.

    My husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man.
    I try to understand him, and help him all I can,
    But sometimes in the evening I feel a little dim
    All alone and plucking pheasants when I'd rather pluck with him.

    I'm no good at plucking pheasants, at pheasant plucking I get stuck
    Though some may find it pleasant I'd rather pluck a duck
    Oh plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease
    Put pheasant plucking's torture 'cos they haven't any grease.

    You have to pluck 'em fresh, if it's fresh they're not unpleasant
    I knew a man from Dunstable who could pluck a frozen pheasant
    They say the village constable had pheasant plucking sessions
    With the vicar on a Sunday 'tween the first and second lessons.

    I'm not a pheasant plucker, Im a pheasant plucker's friend
    I'm only plucking pheasants as a means unto an end.

    Ah I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's wife
    And when we pluck together it's a pheasant plucking life.

    So how much wood can a woodchuck chuck
    if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
    A wood chuck can chuck as much wood as he would chuck but
    he could not find the wood.
    If the woodchuck could find the wood to chuck he'd chuck more wood than you.
    And thats why its called a woodchuck, Chuck; they chuck the fúcking wood.

    most of that was me ad-libbing
