    Number of word "and" in a grammatically correct sentence

    Can anyone beat this - 5 'and's and grammatically correct

    A signwriter was questioning the gap between words on a pub sign: 'Do you want an inch between The words Fox and And and And and Hounds?'


    (come on, it's Friday)
    And on the eighth day God said, "Okay, Murphy, you're in charge!"

      Very good - I hadn't thought of that. I didn't think it was possible!

      I +ve repped you!

        I was running along, and as I ran I said, "and, and, and, [insert as many as needed], and, and"

        Hmm - I thought I was being clever, but it's easy!

          If every thread on CUK which was pointless was deleted, it would be a pretty barren place

            Easy, go find a really big cave, shout the above sentence at the top of your voice and wait for the echos...... Simples

              Surely that means the pub sign is "Fox And And Hounds"?

                No - that would be 'Do you want an inch between The words Fox and And and And and And and And and Hounds?'

                  Your right, I'm being a bit slow!

                  Talking of slowness, I just got a cartoon joke I first read about 26 years ago when I was 8. And I didn't even see the cartoon again, I was just thinking about it for some reason and then it hit me what the fecking joke was!
