May I suggest you this?
War and Peace[^]
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

But that's not difficult, just long.
|
|
|
|

But extremely boring - that can improve your mood on bad days!

An other idea is that I will send you my special copy of 'The Caine Mutiny', from Herman Wouk...The whole book printed without a single whitespace!!! Hard to read it!

Isn't the translation "gargle"?

Not sure, but the pronunciation is "bleep"!

Heard of silent letters, but never silent words.

|
|
|

But some sources quote it hyphenated like this:
"Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthur-nuk"
No not kidding. : )

I always get those two mixed up.
Same with "I" and "A".

Looked in a mirror?
Do I look like a woman? Women look in mirrors*.
Yeesh!
* And still water, and reflections in glasses, spoons, powered-down phones, patent-leather shoes, silver plates, darkened windows, French polish, steel kitchen appliances, ice buckets, and any other reflective object that falls within the range of their eyesight.
