This has nothing to do with welding but I couldn't resist the temptation of posting it.
Can any of you, gentlemen who live in English speaking countries, pronounce quickly the following phrase (I received it through Internet):

Three switched witches watch three Swatch watches. Which switched witch watch which Swatch watch?

We Brazilians are like that, always finding the good humored side of things.

Sorry, but I talk too slow for fast paced speaking. I'm from the "Southern" portion of the states and we tend to draw out our conversations. :)
Repetitive, fast paced pronouncing of that phrase tends to lead to a mis-understood compliation of sounds that is even mis-understood by the speaker. We call these type of phrases "tongue twisters".
