english - Longest *Sentence* With Only Repeating Character Pairs


BACKGROUND



I asked a question about words: Longest Word With *Only* Repeating Character Pairs


The goal was to find a word where every character pair was repeated at least once. This was vulnerable to dictionary searches and didn't require human creativity. In addition, every answer was of the format [string][same string][first letter of string]. For instance, ALFALFA is [ALF][ALF][A]. In fact, from my own quick and non-technical figurings, this format is the only possible format that can fit such a challenge. The answers found were interesting but it was this conclusion that I found more interesting.




CHALLENGE


Form a grammatically correct sentence in which every letter pair appears at least twice.


Clarifications: (The example below is invalid and is only intended to assist in clarification.)



  • Words can not be repeated but variations of a word do not count as a repetition. This includes plurals, possessives, contractions, etc. Uni the Unicorn's eating the unicorns!

  • Words count as a repetition if they match when converted to all uppercase and any non-letters are removed

  • Any non-letter (spaces, hyphens, apostrophes, etc.) should be stripped prior to analysis. The result will be just a string of letters. UnitheUnicornseatingtheunicorns


  • Capitalization does not matter. Convert them all to uppercase if that helps. UNITHEUNICORNSEATINGTHEUNICORNS

Much longer sentences can be made using lists of things, it is probably possible the make a sentence using every word as a long enough list will eventually contain every pair of characters. Even those pairs that don't appear in words or appear in only single words can be formed from the letters of adjacent words.
