What is your favorite tongue twister?

Long ago I read that this was the world's toughest tongue twister (English). Just saying it once, very slowly is a challenge. However, it's not my favorite. I once sent my "favorite" to a Baltimore DJ to be read on the air. He purportedly opened the envelope on the air and read it once without rehearsal. If he stumbled, the entrant would receive a record album as a prize. I won the prize even though the DJ did not stumble. He didn't even attempt to read it on the air...

"I'm not the fig plucker, I'm the fig plucker's son, but I'll pluck figs 'til the fig plucker comes"

Have fun.

What's yours?

I went to a speech therapist when I was young, and I could not pronounce my "R" properly ( spoke like Elmer Fudd ) - I had to state: The Red Rabbit Ran Around The Room many, many times during grade school!!

Red leather, yellow leather. Repeated over and over. Simple but effective.
