Iish reallyish loveish Russellsish decriptionish ofish
approximateish solutionish toish designish problemsish.
He'sish soish preciseish andish consistentish aboutish usingish
approximateish valuesish heish almost soundsish likeish
aish chefish addingish aish littleish ofish thisis andish
aish littleish ofis thatish toish theish octopusish stewish.
Iish canish useish serveralish ofish hisish designish
ideasish forish myish currentish customerish.  Maybeish aish
resistorish hereish andish aish resistorish thereish.  Hereish
aish capish, thereish aish capish, everwhereish aish capish.
