That’s all very well and good… but just in case your brain isn’t broken enough yet, try these puppies on for size… I’ll put the correct punctuation in so they make sense.

5 consecutive ‘and’s in one statement:

Says a pub landlord to a signwriter who has just messed up painting the new pub sign…
“you have missed the spaces between ‘Rose’ and ‘and’ and ‘and’ and ‘Crown’”

and this one’s a belter… 11 (count ‘em!) consecutive ‘had’s in one statement:

Talking about two school pupils past English Comprehension essay…
“Smith, where Jones had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had had the teachers approval.”

Only 8 “buffalos” in one sentence?? Pah! Eat my Grammar!

anistropia has just pointed out that there is a place 10 miles outside of Wolverhampton called Badger and so you can also have the not-quite-perfect,
“Badger badgers Badger badgers badger badger Badger badgers “

a buffalo/badger beats a had every time — do your worst mr sheba!

Of course, the Badger sentance is only stricly speaking corect if you add “Mushroom, mushroom”.

Sorry, wrong meme

Just a minor edit to the above post, where ‘Jones’ becomes ‘Had’ (an unlikely name, but possible), then the sentence increases the consecutive ‘had’s by one:

Talking about two school pupils past English Comprehension essay…
“Smith, where Had had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had had the teachers approval.”

Yes… but what if Smith and ‘Had’ weren’t discussing correct usage of ‘had’ and ‘had had’ but were actually discussing the hypothetical situation of the two of them trying to get as many hads in one sentence… for example:

Smith, where Had had had “…Had had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had”, had had “… Had had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had had…”. “… Had had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had had…” had had the teachers approval…

or something like that 43 I think.

Stop now.
Please.
