Only know a couple so what's you're favourite?
Mine:
Mrs Fuddy-duddy had a flat cut punt, not a punt cut flat, but a flat cut punt

and
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son. I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes.

This sends our kids into fits of giggles every time!

One smart fella, he felt smart,
two smart fellas, they felt smart,
three smart fellas, they felt smart,
and they all felt smart together......

Not a tongue twister but amazingly hard to say without writing it out first:

"James, while John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher."

[b]Tokyo tokkyo kyoka-kyoku kyou kyuukyo kyoka kyakka[/b]

Think that's right. Was taught it once but promptly forgot. If correct it means 'Tokyo patent office soon rejected the permission today'

A song from the 1920's goes:
She shot her saucy sister in a fish sauce shop
In a fish sauce shop, in a fish sauce shop,
She saw her slow sipping soapy sherbet
With a sly man, who's name was Herbert,
But perhaps she was sharing someone's cheap sheep chop
So she surely shot her sister in a fish sauce shop.

Or something like that. My granny new lots of them.

I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son. I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes

I learned that many years ago as [i]"I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son. I sit all day plucking pheasants underneath the pheasant plucking sun"[/i]

I think mine scans better.

When people at work ask me what my wife does for a living I tell them it's not easy to say.

She sells seashells on the sea shore. (Thanks Milton Jones for that one)

shut up the shutters and sit in the shop (repeat)

A couple of German ones my missus has taught me..

Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische,
frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze

Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut und Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid.
Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut.
