       @stephaniejne @dgar Smith, where Jones had had “had”, had had “had had”.  “Had had” had had more favour with the examiners than “had” had had. Perfect English.  Eleventy “had”s in a row and it all makes perfect sense provided you punctuate correctly.

       @Ericthebeeover2 @stephaniejne @dgar A man walks down the street and encounters a painter working on the new sign for the pub The Pig and Whistle. He looks up and says,“Hey there! I think you’ve got too much space between pig and and and and and Whistle.”
