Toungue twisters

Wikipedia states:

"A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly.
Tongue-twisters may rely on similar but distinct phonemes (e.g., s [s] and sh [ʃ]), 
unfamiliar constructs in loanwords, or other features of a language.
The hardest tongue-twister in the English language 
(according to Guinness World Records) is supposedly 
The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick.
William Poundstone claims that the hardest English tongue twister is 
"The seething sea ceaseth and thus the seething sea sufficeth us."
