Thought someone might take interest in this. I came across the site
http://swisswitchbitch.com, which basically tries to get people to say
the following tongue-twister, record it and send to them.

''' Three swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched swiss
witch-bitches, watch three swiss Swatch watch switches. Which swiss
witch-bitch, which wishes to be a switched swiss witch-bitch, wishes to
watch which swiss Swatch watch switch? '''

Granted, it doesn't make much sense, but it's certainly hard to say out
loud. Would be interesting to see how well do native English speakers
fare (I'm of Danish origin myself).


with best regards,
-----
I.T.
