VIDEO: This Mullingar man struggling to say a very simple sentence is comedy gold

Paul Moore

We can’t stop laughing.

There are certain tongue twisters that people really struggle with.

For example, try saying ‘shoe shine Suzy, she shines shoes. She shines as she sits and she sits as she shines” or ‘I’m not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s son. I’m only plucking pheasants because the pheasant plucker’s gone”. Yep, things can get very rude but they’re often hilarious also.

JOE reader Ski Morgan had his own verbal version of Mount Everest to climb recently but it seems that he just couldn’t wrap his tongue around saying the simple sentence, ‘there’s no need for me to be here today’.

Ski’s wife Karyn sent this clip into us and we can’t stop laughing at her hubby’s best attempts at saying this very simple sentence. Fair play to him though because it’s impossible not to laugh along with his reaction and hilarious frustrations.

Take a look.
