Here is a great tongue twister, the challenge is to re-write the phrase without using CAN or any words derived from CAN. IE replace the "can's" with other words to give the same meaning!!!

Can you can a can, like a canner can can a can?

good luck!

Can't you lengthen this a bit? Smile [:)]

"Can you can a canned can into an uncanned can like a canner can can a canned can into an uncanned can?"

Try these:

Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz.
(Fisher's Fritz fishes fresh fish, fresh fish Fisher's Fritz fishes.)

Bismarck biß Marc bis Marc Bismarck biß.
(Bismarck bit Marc until Marc bit Bismarck.)
-> This doesn't work that well in English, but it's a good one.
