Possible Contexts for Foreign Tongue-Twisters

Courtesy of Wikipedia, here are some occasions on which you might want to say a foreign tongue-twister:
  • To explain that three words on a sign ("Kari og Ole") have been moved further away from each other.
  • In a conversation between two women from Schleitheim on a train discussing whether a toddler is allowed to lick the windowpane.
  • When you want to know whether you're asking whether the manager is really the manager.
  • Just before you cover Eastern Europe
  • "Come to the ceiling to take a look at a fly that was killed on the wallpaper." Speaks for itself.
  • If your father is an ewe.
  • When a (criminal) Hessian has stolen your ashtray.
