Single Breath Sentence.
An Oxfordshire woman today became the first ever to break the
thirty-minute barrier for talking without drawing breath.
Mrs. Mavis Sommers, 48, of Cowley, smashed the previous record of 23 minutes when she excitedly reported an argument she'd had in the butchers to her neighbour.
She ranted on for a staggering 32 minutes and 12 seconds without pausing for air, before going blue and collapsing in a heap on the ground.
She was taken to Radcliffe Infirmary in a wheelbarrow but was released later after check-ups.
At the peak of her mammoth motormouth marathon, she achieved an unbelievable 680 words per minute, repeating the main points of the story an amazing 114 times whilst her neighbour, Mrs. Dolly Knowles, nodded and tutted.
The last third of the sentence was delivered in a barely audible croak,
the last two minutes being mouthed only, accompanied by vigorous
gesticulations and indignant spasms.
