The ones with a lot of th- words are hardest for me, as I have a slight lisp.

Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. See that thou, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb. Success to the successful thistle sifter.

I swear my acting teacher hated me.

I’m not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s son, and I’m only plucking pheasants ‘til the pheasant plucking’s done!

@glacial I think I may have said something naughty when I read it back…

@DWW25921 Then you’re doing it right. :)

My favorite:

Betty Botta bought some butter;
“But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter
Will but make my batter better.”
Then she bought a bit of butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.
So ´twas better Betty Botta
bought a bit of better butter.

Legislative Judiciary Committee. I use to write news copy for broadcast and the announcer could not read the copy. Five times fast is fun. . .

Tried it 3x. Succeeded only once.

@filmfann ugh… I have a 30second one of those too…

I bought a box of baking powder and baked a batch of biscuits. I brought a big basket of biscuits back to the bakery and baked a basket of big biscuits. Then I took the big basket of biscuits and the basket of big biscuits and put a bunch of biscuits from the baskets into a box. Then I took the box of mixed biscuits and the biscuit mixer and brought them all back to the bakery and opened a can of sardines.

@Seek_Kolinahr It is perverse that the speaker wouldn’t also use a big basket for the big biscuits.

@glacial I was saying pheasant phucker by the end of that sentence. lol

glacial's avatar

@Katniss LOL. Most end up saying “pleasant… ” instead. :P

Katniss's avatar

Hahahaha @glacial Then perhaps that is telling of how my mind works.

dxs's avatar

@Headhurts Leather is the word I always heard used after red and yellow. Maybe it’s an American thing.

Headhurts's avatar

It wasn’t a spelling error.

dxs's avatar

No it’s not…It’s an alternative…
