History of Fun – Tongue Twisters

Limber up that tongue! Tongue-twisters are some of the oldest, easiest, and most fun word games out there, and they produce some pretty hilarious results. According to the Guinness World Records, the most difficult tongue-twister in the world goes, “The sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick.” Whew! The best thing about tongue-twisters is that the hardest in the world never stays the hardest for long – it’s easy for anyone to think up a new, tongue-tying doozy. Here’s a personal fav my PaPa used to try (after a couple Pabst): ‘I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop. Where she sits she shines, and where she shines she sits.” Do you have a favorite tongue-twister?
