Smiley Face, read aloud the passage below as rapidly as is facially possible, at all times keeping those mouth corners held high.
Quote:Klappertandend kwam Kees Koukleum kolen kopen. Kijk kijk, kakelde kolenkoopman Kuipers. Kees klappertandt! Koud, Kees? Kerel, klaagde Kees. Krakende knieën, klapperende kiezen, compleet knikkende kuiten. Curieuze kou, knikte Kuipers. Koop kolen, knul! Kolen kunnen kou klein krijgen!
The above passage may be found at 27 here, and a rough translation at 27 here.
12 seconds.
I give back 98 :
Wat was was eer was was was?
Eer was was was was was is.
What was wax(= was) before wax(= was )was wax(= was)?
Before wax(= was) was wax(= was) wax( =was), was "is".
wax translates to was.
(was also translates to the noun 'laundry').
TV came in during the sixties. Till then we did silly word games round the central pot of hot potatoes (Van Gogh) while western gales were lashing the trembling windows.
Now that WAS literally waxing lyrical!
