Eng. Lang. Jokes (Warm ups / ice breakers)

Hello again my pedigree chums. It is me again [yeah, yeah, I should say 'I'].

But I digress: I need a little more help, folks.

I work with a brilliant primary teacher who has great success in warming up fifty indifferent little darlings five times a day with jokes and tongue twisters but he's a wily old fox and will only drip feed me one or two gems every now and then [I teach teenagers at the other end of the campus so I only see him from time to time].

So, where can I find more gigglers like the following:

What word in the English language is always spelt and pronounced incorrectly?

Answer: incorrectly.

Or,

I would like one too [spelling test].

Or,

Say correct correctly [try this one especially, it's a real head-wrecker for all grades ;-) ].

And,

Betty bought some butter but the butter Betty bought was bitter so Betty bought some better butter than before.

And,

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Any ideas, Web links, examples?

Regards as ever.

Newbie needs help! :oops: .
