Tongue Twister

I am a sheet slitter, I slit sheets.  I’m the best sheet slitter that ever slit a sheet. (unknown)


The first time I tried this on someone, I got the bigest kick of of the fact that they didn't even know what they had said, until they looked back at the poem, then looked at me and said, "sleet s_itter?"

I don't know Andy. I soup mailed and she said to put it in as it doesn't get bad until you mess up. She liked it. I was hesitant.
