The answer from General Gassing.

Think of a sentance that contains the word AND five times in succession one after the other, the sentance has to make sense.

The signwriter says to the pub landlord, "Do you want the same size gap between the word Dog and and and and and Duck.

The pub is called THE DOG AND DUCK

Thats too many ands for the sentence to make sense - unless the signwriter is a bit slow.

'dog' and 'and' and 'duck' is only 3 times for the sign - not 5.

Or:

Peter and Paul had used different verb tenses in their English exam. Peter, where Paul had had 'had', had had 'had had'; 'had had' had had the teacher's approval.

That would produce 'Dog and and duck', surely.

There's my first TEFL lesson plan mapped out. Those poor Belgian bastards won't know what's hit them.

Nope, he is specifying the gap between Dog, and 'And'
He then explains the gap between 'And' (same one) and 'Duck'. Two gaps.

Let me put it this way, I am the signwriter and you are the pub landlord and you've had a drink.

"Good morning mate i've come to do the sign writing now the pub is called THE DOG AND DUCK (now pay attention)do you want the gap between the words Dog and the word and and the gap between the word and and duck to be the same".

In other words do you want the gap the same in between the words DOG and AND and AND and DUCK.




That would produce 'Dog and and duck', surely.

If you do the right leg big six thing your right leg will stop spinning clockwise and start spinning anti clockwise.

Try it left leg and right hand big six and its ok, or right leg big nine.

Don't blame me on this one Mark Radcliffe said it last night on the radio
