How can you have a sentence with the word "and" five times consecutively?

[BigMac]

Anything to do with Smith & Sons?

[sgeandhu]

a signwriter was asked to make a sign saying, for example "jones and Sons". the sign was not ok because there was not enough space left between Jones and and, and and and sons

[ecoman]

spot on boys

[Quizmonster]

It should really read: "...'Jones' and 'and' and 'and' and 'Sons'." That is, the relevant words involved in the actual sign should be isolated from the standard conjunction 'ands' by using inverted commas around them.

Blimey, get out more

[Otleybard]

Then again, if it's raining try the sentence with twelve conscutive uses of the word 'had'.

[Otleybard]

(And the correct spelling of 'consecutive'.)

[xanderma]

Otleybard, I know that one (mispent childhood reading too many Joke Books!) but I don't want to post cos it'll prove what a saddo I am (and it's not even raining!)

[Quizmonster]

Dear Jomes, without the inverted commas, the word-collection...it can't be called a sentence...is nonsense. Since I'm 69, I'd be prepared to bet that I've "got out" rather mnore frequently than you ever have!
