How many “ands” in a row

  • January 27, 2012, 3:46pm

A sign writer completed a shop sign incorrectly, so the shopkeeper complained, saying, you've put too many ands in the sign. It should read; Jones and Son. You've put Jones and and Son, Also the gaps between, Jones and and and and and and and and and Son are all different sizes.
There you go, and, 9 times in one sentence. Anyone for ands knees and bumps a daisy?
