I'm trying to think of a sentence that would involve all these words ...
"Mientras esnifiando (con esfuerzo) el esmoquin de eSting, el estadístico estaba escribiendo un eslogan para el estriptis de eSpring-esteen."

Of course, in Puerto Rican all the "s" sounds would be missing: "el eh-triptis de eh-pringteen."
