Dutch anybody?

de knappe kapper knipt knapper dan de knappe kapper knipt

(the handsome barber cuts hair smarter than the handsome barber cuts (hair))

schapen scheren in Scheveningen

(shaving sheep in Scheveningen)

What about the traditional: De kat krabt de krullen van de trap? And Als een potvis in een pispot pist heb je een pispot vol met potvispis.
(The cat scratched the curls of the stairs) (If a sperm whale pees in a pisspot you have a pisspot full of sperm whale pee. (Don't ask.))

[ What about the traditional: De kat krabt de krullen van de trap? And Als een potvis in een pispot pist heb je een pispot vol met potvispis.

die laatste kende ik nog niet, hij is geweldig

You'll need quite a pot to serve the potvis, oops, sperm whale.

Potvis sounds a lot better than the English equivalent, btw

If Arve had preserved its bilabial trill...

En sambes grum ant entjar gramb, en terches jent kand aver.
[ˈr̥ɛɔ̯ʙɪs ˈʀum ɐr̥ ˈʌir̥jɐr ˈʀɛɔ̯ʙ ˈr̥ʌχɪs ˌjʌi̯r̥ ˈkʰɛɔ̯r ɐˈⱱer]
I will not eat in many buildings, because I will be a small fox.

(In reality, it merged with /v/, but where's the fun in that.)

Oh my gawd the phonology-to-orthography relationship...

[Astraios]

Having the freakiest orthography does appear to be his sole objective in conlanging.

Ačé: refu xʷa:neŋʷ taŋʷ yalaθ!
/aˈtʃəː ˈrəfu ˈxʷaːnəŋʷ taŋʷ ˈjalaθ/
[aˈtʂəː ˈrəfʊ ˈx̟ʷɔːnɔŋ̠ʷ tɔŋ̠ʷ ˈjɔɫɔθ]
Some of my conlangs aren't hard to write!

(That one I haven't developed very much, but it uses pretty much straight Americanist. There are a few mergers around rounded consonants, but whatever. Out of the ones that are actually usable, Arve is the only one with an orthography that isn't completely phonetic, but Kannow is phonologically odd and Cherun has tone letters. Everything in the Kett family is completely phonemic and fairly intuitive, though.)
