Robin: Thank you for inquiry. I am OK again. To continue the play on words: (with dedication to @harleyman ). The policemen says to his tummy: " I got you under a vest!" Also, which side has the Cheetah most spots? " Of course on the outside". But as there are so many Cheetahs, gambling in Africa is forbidden!" Please continue.

Knock, knock. 'Who's there?' Amos 'Amos who?' A mosquito! Knock Knock 'Who's there?' Ann 'Ann who?' Another mosquito! Knock knock 'who's there?' Yetta 'Yetta who?' Yet another mosquito.

Funny knock-knocks @Leelamaria! 


Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not. So it is better to be Shott than Nott. Some say Nott was not shot. But Shott says he shot Nott. Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, Or Nott was shot. If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot. But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott, Then Shott was shot, not Nott. However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott. 


Thank you @Leelamaria for the funny knock knock. I am now omitting the apostrophe. It is not good English but more legible. Orange you glad I did not follow with the Banana jokes?

James this was the funniest play on words and a mighty tongue twister. Much better then: Betty Botter bought a bit of bitter Butter and she put it in her batter..........

I almost posted the Betty Butter too ! 


Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. If Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, can thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, see that thou, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles, thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb.

Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug - although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty year old thug thought of that morning. 


Ladies and Gentlemen, hobos and tramps. Cross eyed mosquitos and bow-legged ants. Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor, I will tell you a story you have heard before* One bright day in the middle of the night two dead boys got into a fight they stood back to back and faced each other pulled out two guns and stabbed each other a deaf policeman heard the noise pulled out a knife and shot both boys If you do not believe me this lie is true just ask the blind man - he saw it too!


I am really puzzled @harleyman, we come from such different background and yet we not only seem to have similar predilections but might even know the same jokes, the same plays on words etc. Would you be interested in tongue twisters in other than English?

That maybe a real challenge to interpret but I will give it a try. It is ironic we share simuliar interests.

Pretty good @harleyman: You sure sound to be a well rounded person - kol ha-kavod , even in other than English. But what do you make of this, very euphonious tongue twister in Hungarian: Nem minden szarka farka tarka - barka, csak a tarka barka fele fajta szarka farka tarka - barka.

Or of this in German: Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentat.

Not all types of magpie tail gaudy, just a patchwork patchwork kind of magpie tail.
