Lojban is a great language for tongue-twisters, but ...

... these don't twist my tongue as much as the others that have
been posted -- I pronounce {ts}, {tc}, {dz} and {dj} as affricates,
which I don't perceive as closely related to the dental stops or
the homorganic fricatives, so what it takes to make a tongue-twister
(many occurrences of the same sounds in different combinations)
is just not there.  Is that an effect of having a Slavic mouth,
I wonder?
