Real Chinese Whispers

I need to use a Chinese whisper as a teaching aid in a talk I am giving on communications.

I only know one - the famous war whisper -

"Send reinforcements, we're going to advance"

Which became -

"Send three and fourpence (remember this is a pre-decimalisation whisper!) we're going to a dance"

Can anyone help me out with a good whisper?
