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.

This tongue twister is British in origin:

How many cookies could a good cook cook if a good cook could cook cookies? A good cook could cook as much cookies as a good cook who could cook cookies.

An American variation of this British tongue twister is this:

How much wood could Chuck Woods’ woodchuck chuck, if Chuck Woods’ woodchuck could and would chuck wood? If Chuck Woods’ woodchuck could and would chuck wood, how much wood could and would Chuck Woods’ woodchuck chuck? Chuck Woods’ woodchuck would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as any woodchuck would, if a woodchuck could and would chuck wood.

This is a famous one many American children are told. It was written by the world famous children’s author and storyteller Dr. Seuss:

Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew.

While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew.

Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze.

Freezy trees made these trees’ cheese freeze.

That’s what made these three free fleas sneeze.

Here’s a short one which is hard for many people to pronounce: Seven slick slimy snakes slowly snake by sliding southward.

The rules of logic are truly great. Some of them can even be expressed as a tongue twister. Example:

Federal Express is now called FedEx.

When you retire, you’ll be a FedEx ex.

But if you’re an officer when you retire, you’ll be an ex Fedex Exec.

Then after your divorce, your ex-wife will be an ex FedEx exec’s ex.

If you rejoin FedEx in time, you’d be an ex ex FedEx exec.

When you remarry, your wife will be an ex ex FedEx exec’s ex.
