On the Tonight Show a guest challenged Johnny Carson to repeat the following verbatim: one duck, two hens, three squaking geese, four courpulent porposies, five limirick oyster, six pairs of Don Alvardo’s tweesers, seven thousand Masedonian soldiers dressed in full battle array.

Does anyone know what 8, 9 and 10 are? Thanks.
