Tongue Twisters...

Recently while googling, I happened to come across a few toungue twisters. We humans are a wierd race. We seem to enjoy finding new ways to confound ourselves. We seem to be unsure of our strengths and hence we keep trying to challenge ourselves. This is very similar to the stress testing and boundary-case analysis that we developers expose our code to. Hence Tongue twisters are a hit with the young and the old.
So here are a few of my favourite tongue twisters.

A flea and a fly dropped into a flue,
Said the fly to the flea, "Oh what should we do"
Said the flea " Let us fly "
Said the fly "Let us flee"
So the flea fled and the fly flew...
And out they flew through a flaw in the flue.


Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See, Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.


And the classic one called Betty Botter and her Butter...
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.
