Your sentence has four consecutive 'hads'.
The following sentence, making complete sense, has eleven:

"James, where John had had 'had', had had 'had had'. 'Had had' had had the teacher's approval."

That's two sentences, not one. One could probably get away with it using a semi-colon instead of the first period.

Ah yes, jobs. Once upon a time, souls were traded for immortality or riches. Now we are bought and sold with the promise of jobs. The human spirit is devalued currency. How the devil must be laughing.”
