    What about the surgeon who had a table but no utensils?

    I googled help to understand this:


    Tom, while Tim had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.



    Noone else seemed to want to try - are you angry with me...?

    I'm furious 🙂 but I'll get over it. Nothing wrong with using Google.. that's where I found the sentence.

    Oh it's so good to be surrounded by dictionaries again, even when I have a strange feeling that I actually invented some words...

    That's complete and utter rubbish.

    It should read: Tom, while Tim had had 'had', Tom's 'had had' had a better effect on the teacher.

    Anything else is nonsense.

    I didn't google, and don't need to. Offer me a sentence using 5 (five) logical and ordered adjectives of different mode, and let's screw that one apart too!

    Should but doesn't. Is complete rubbish more inexcusable than utter rubbish?

    The fly shouldn't've just flown into my lamplight, and yet it doesn't fly no longer. ?

    Edit: I wrote that, and didn't utter it. 😉 Edit 2: -m. Chan lerm. 🙂
