	The dog and fox thing is a sentence that uses (nearly?) every letter in the alphabet, so it's used for handwriting practice. (Is there an equivalent in German?) As far as I'm concerned, nothing is mandatory. Fly! Be free! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hee! I only knew it because it was mentioned in "Bored of the Rings" as one of the possible meanings of the ring inscription but I had no idea what that was about.

There are various german equivalents, but they all cheat by using proper names.
The least proper name-loaden I can find is
"Oje, Qualm verwölkt Dix zig Farbtriptychons."
"Oh my, smoke clouds Dix's many color triptychs.", roughly.
