How about this:
I slit a sheet,
A sheet I slit,
Upon the slitted
Sheet I sit.
Have your friends say this as fast as they can 3 times and GUARANTEED
they'll screw it up and say "Sh*t"

I split the sheet, the sheet I split

Betty Botta bought some butter but the butter Betty Botta bought
was bitter; so Betty Botta bought a little bit of better butter
to make the bitter butter better.

I always thought it went :
Betty Botta bought a bit of bitter butter and it made her batter
bitter, so she bought a bit of better butter and it made her batter better.
What do I know, huh?

Acording to Professor Jim Matisoff's week #1 homework for Freshman
Linguistics (phonemic transcription) and whatever manglings my memory
has added over the years since I was an undergrad Freshman:
Betty Botter bought a bit of butter. "But," she said, "this butter's
bitter. I have put it in my batter and it's made my batter bitter, but
a bit of better butter would make my batter better." So Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter and it made her bitter batter better.
Of course, Prof. Matisoff may have fiddled a bit to isolate something
for the exercise.

A variant on the above:
I'm not the pheasant plucker
I'm the pheasant plucker's son
And I'm just plucking pheasants
Till the pheasant plucker comes.

On 02-05-93 Larry Shapiro tongue twisted to All...
A > > Black rubber baby buggie bumpers
I've got one for every letter of the alphabet.
Here's one for you:
When a twister a-twisting will twist him a twist,
For the twisting of his twist, he three twines doth intwist;
But if one of the twines of the twist do untwist,
The twine that untwisteth untwistith the twist.
Untwirling the twine thaty untwisteth between,
He twirls, with his twister, the two in a twine;
Then twice having twisted the twines of the twine,
He twisteth the twice he had twined in twian.
The twain that in twining before in the twine,
As twines were intwisted he now doth untwine;
Twist the twain inter-twisting a twine more between,
He, twirling his twister, makes a twist of the twine.
Here's another:
What a shame such a shapley sash
should such shabby stitches show.

he was very embarrassed. :)

Jerry Lewis did this to Johnny Carson (with a straight face) about a million
years ago....Lewis sat there as the guest, and said the tongue twister,
slowly at first, so Carson could keep up, then he blew him away...

tongue-twisters as warmups. Here are some of the ones that work well:
What to do? To die today at a minute or two 'till two
A distinctly difficult thing to say and harder still to do.
Red leather, yellow leather (repeat ad nauseum)
One smart fellow, he felt smart. (That one's especially funny if you
are doing it with, say, junior high school students, because of the way it
comes out if you get tangled up. Try it and see what I mean. :))

This may not be a real funny tongue twister but try and say it a few times and
a smile may come to your face as your tongue trips over itself. It's the
hardest tongue twister I know.

For the simplicity, after all it's only two syllables, I think this is
harder:
"Toy Boat" (say it three times out loud reasonably fast)

And then there's always other languages besides
English:
Didon dina, dit-on, du dos d'un dodu dindon. (All the gossip has it
that Dido ate the back of a chubby turkey for dinner.)
Sopra il ponte

Cadde il ponte

(There stood a count on the bridge in front of the fountain. The bridge
fell into the fountain and the count broke his forehead.)
