Another one from Dutch:
"Knappe kappers kappen knap, maar de knecht van de knappe kapper kapt nog
knapper dan de knappe kapper kappen kan."
/knAp@ kAp@rs kAp@n knAp mar d@ knExt fAn d@ knAp@ kAp@r kApt nOx knAp@r dAn
d@ knAp@ kAp@r kAp@n kAn/
In English (as literal as possible):
"Skilled barbers cut skillfully, but the assistent of the skilled barber
cuts even more skillfully than the skilled barber can cut."
Note: "knap" in Dutch can both mean "skillfull" as well as "handsome".
