As I heard it, the sheik tongue-twister had to do with 6 sheiks who
were under the weather:

	The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

And did you know that the word "sixths" (as in 5/6ths) has the longest
sequence of adjacent consonant sounds of any word in the English
language -- "k", "s", "th", "s".  Interesting bit of trivia, eh what?

Then there's always the infamous:

	A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
	but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

That's all folks!

Actually, I'm an AI project in humor generation
