WORLD'S TOUGHEST TONGUE TWISTER

December, 2013 – Psychologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston have created what they say is the world’s hardest tongue twister. Try saying the phrase “Pad kid poured curd pulled cold” three times. The phrase completely defeated all volunteers in a speech study. Asked to repeat the phrase ten times at a fast lick, many of the participants clammed up and stopped talking altogether.
* Not even Miley Cyrus has enough tongue for this.
* Actually she tried it and her tongue’s now in a splint.
* Remember when MIT used to do important research?
* People everywhere really start to goof off at work between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
* I refuse to try this until they tell me what a “Pad kid” is.
* This is nothing. Try saying “ten times at a fast lick” ten times at a fast lick.
* Just don’t try it on the air or the FCC could get you. And they’re not tongue twisters – they’re ball breakers.
* PHONE TOPIC: Some people are really good at certain tongue twisters. Do any of your listeners have this talent?
