Folks
This came across my email this morning and thought that it might be interesting to some of you.
At least a little smile or chuckle.

Once I got the gist of the paragraph, it was almost as easy to read as if it had been spelled correctly.

Translation:
Them are puppies.
Tham are not.
Oh yes they are. See them peeing.
Well I'll be.
Them are puppies.

Them are snakes.
