• One hen

• Two ducks

• Three squawking geese

• Four limerick oysters

• Five corpulent porpoises

• Six pair of Don Alverzo’s tweezers

• Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array

• Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt

• Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth

• Ten lyrical, spherical diabolical denizens of the deep who hall stall around the corner of the quo of the quay of the quivery, all at the same time.

This is called the “Announcer’s Test”. It originated at Radio Central New York in the early 1940’s as a cold reading test given to prospective radio talent to demonstrate their speaking ability.
