I knew one quick brown fox once, but she was too quick and got away. All dogs are lazy, so yes to that one.

As long as there's no requirement for it being short, I have this one that I just made up (I checked twice, I'm pretty sure I got all the letters). I think Danger might be able to relate to it. :biggrin:

What the hell is 'Muffin the mule'? We occassionaly encounter 'mule muffins' in the pastures around here, but I've never heard the words used in reverse order.

Maybe if I hadn't been so persistent in trying to whang that quick brown fox, she wouldn't have run off.
