Czech tongue twisters

Got tired from studying Histology so I needed something fun to do. Searched for some Latin and Czech exercises and found a lot of Czech tongue twisters.
Try to pronounce this under 3 seconds!

Strč prst skrz krk.
Stick your finger through your throat.
 
Pštros s pštrosicí a malými pštrosáčaty.
Pštros s pštrosicí a pštrosáčaty šli do pštrosačárny.

A male ostrich with a female ostrich and baby ostriches went to the ostrich house.

Three hundred and thirty three silver quails flew over three hundred and thirty three silver roofs.

Will Julie oil them, or will Julie not oil them?

Pan kaplan v kapli plakal.
The chaplain cried in the chapel.

Od poklopu ku poklopu Kyklop kouli koulí.
Cyclope is rolling a ball from cover to cover / from manhole to manhole.

Kmotře Petře, nepřepepřete mi toho vepře.
Godfather Peter, don't put too much pepper on my pork.

Naše lomenice je mezi lomenicemi ta nejlomenicovatější.

Vlk zmrzl, zhltl hrst zrn.
The wolf froze, he swallowed a handful of grains.

I believe even Czech speaking persons will have a problem with these phrases...
