This is something that Google won't solve for you cheats (hopefully) but I once heard that there was a record for the most times the word 'and' was used consecutively in a valid sentence. It was to do with a pub name or something similar I think, anyone clever enough to know the answer?:)
 
A man owned a pub called The Dog And Bone and was having the sign re-done. However, upon seeing the new sign he exclaimed:

"No no no, the spacing between Dog and And, and And and Bone is all wrong"

You could go on to say that the shop owner then thought in his head "I wonder if i spoke too quickly? Perhaps I should have left longer pauses between Dog and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Bone?", but that may be taking it too far.

Could the thread be settled after just one post? :p
 
Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and and and and and Chips in my 'Fish and Chips' sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and and, and and and and, and and and and, and and and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?
 
Something like below:
The space between the hare and and and and and hounds is a little too large for my liking. No idea where the punctuation fits in with that though.

In relation to a pub sign for instance the "Hare & Hounds", where a signmaker used large spaces between the words.

Hope the above makes sense, takes a while to get your head around it especially since i can't think where to put comma's :D

//Edit: Haha, solved already, OcUK is awesome :cool:
 
One day a bloke said "and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and" surely that is a valid sentence?

Cheers mate, I knew someone here would have the answer, you're great:)
 
surely if gareth gates said any of the above sentances, there would be a few more ligitimate "ands" in there somewhere :p

It was "had", not "and", something about discussing grammer used by two pupils.

While Shaun had had "had" Dave had had "had had", "had had" had had the teachers approval.

That one? ;)
