She sells sea shells by the sea shore – Tongue Twister

A tongue-twister is an often humorous phrase difficult to articulate properly. For example:

Which watch did which witch wear and which witch wore which watch?

Some tongue-twisters produce results which are humorous (or humorously vulgar) when they are mispronounced, while others simply rely on the confusion and mistakes of the speaker for their amusement value. For example:

Peter Pan plays the pan pipes, but were the pan pipes named after Peter Pan or Peter Pan the pan pipes.
