Peter: Pass the pepper, will you, please, Percy, old chap?
Percy: Pepper? You're not proposing to put pepper on your porridge?
Peter: Shut up, Percy! Why do you always presume that I'm stupid?
Percy: Well, stop snapping and explain the purpose of the pepper pot.
Peter: It's perfectly simple. I want to compare our pepper pot with the pepper pot
I've bought as a present for Penelope Popplewell. Percy: A practical—but pretty expensive—present!
Peter: Well, she's a super person. I thought perhaps, if you happened to be passing the Post Office... Could you possibly pop the parcel in the post?
Percy: Am I expected to pay the postage on this pepper pot for Penelope Popplewell?
Peter: Percy, you're impossible! I may be poor but I have my pride! Here's £1 for the postage.
Hometask: record your voice while practising ex-s. Learn “Peter Piper” by heart.
Read and practise.
A critical critic cracked his neck at a critical cricket match.
I can make my voice go really high. I can make my voice go really low.
Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?
There was a fisherman named Fisher
who fished for some fish in a fissure.
Till a fish with a grin,

Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.

Never do today what you can get someone else to do tomorrow!
