Strange English Language

[Sir Burr]

You would'nt think that you could make a coherent sentence in the English language using five ands in a row, but you can. A small story to demonstrate:-

A man bought a pub and decided to call it the Dog and Duck. He needed a good sign to hang outside the pub, so, he did a sketch of what he wanted with the name of the pub at the bottom of the sign. He then went to the sign-maker and showed him the sketch and ordered the sign.

A week later the sign arrives and the sign-maker mounts it on the pub.

The owner comes to have a look at it and immediately sees that there is something wrong with it. The name of the pub has not been written to his specifications.

He says to the sign-maker "The space between Dog and and, and and and Duck is too small".
