A quotation from John Adams

As I have always been convinced that abuse of Words, has been the great instrument of Sophistry and Chicanery — of party, faction and Division in Society.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Letter (1819-03-31) to J. H. Tiffany

Hey, smart people! You know the sentence "A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as an example of a short sentence containing all 26 letters, yeah? Well, I'm looking for a similar sentence, or two (i.e., it seems hard to fit them all into one sentence without too much silliness), that contain all English phonemes. Someone ought to have some lying around, right? Linguists? Wordplay people? Vocal warmup designers? Share your thoughts with me! (For reference, I found this example list of 44 English phonemenes https://magoosh.com/english-speaking/44-phonemes-in-english-and-other-sound-blends/ )

Cheers!
