PANGRAMS V

A pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet. Generally speaking, the fewer the number of letters, the better the pangram. But sometimes the shortest pangrams sound awkward and contrived. The classic pangram, The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,  - with 35 letters - was typed millions of times by prospective typewriter buyers - to check that all the keys worked. Below is a pangram of 41 letters, but one that sounds very natural.

AMAZINGLY, FEW DISCOTHEQUES PROVIDE JUKEBOXES.
