    Amusing!

    Еще подсмотрел у Гоблина:
    Первый урок, английский для начинающих:
    Three witches watch three swatch watches. Which witch watches which swatch watch?
    Второй урок, английский для продвинутых учеников:
    Three switched witches watch three Swatch watch switches. Which switched witch watches which Swatch watch switch?
    Урок третий, он же последний:
    Three swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched swiss witch-bitches, watch three swiss Swatch watch switches. Which swiss witch-bitch, which wishes to be a switched swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which swiss Swatch watch switch?
