Unutterably Silly Quiz

[pdurrant]

I clearly failed to dig out my quiz, and I'm out this evening. But I'll try to remember at the weekend

Meanwhile, here's an amusing optical illusion.

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

Yes, when is a spiral not a spiral? When it's a series of circles...

With pdurrant's permission, I'll set another one whilst we are waiting. The challenge is to come up with a (genuine) sentence in which the word "and" appears 5 times in a row, and in which the sentence still makes logical sense.

A signwriter is writing a sign for a pub called the Ferret and Firkin. Halfway through writing it, the fussy landlord comes out, looks at the sign and says;

"There needs to be a larger space between the ‘Ferret’ and ‘and’ and ‘and’ and ‘Firkin’”

[orlok]

Exactly the example I was thinking of, though the pub in question was the Pig and Whistle

[pdurrant]

How about an example with six 'had's in it?

I'm sure I've heard this one somewhere. Let me think...

[Bilbo1967]

Yes, I've heard of it as well, probably at the same time as the 5 "ands" one. It's not coming to mind though...

John, where Sue had had "had," had had "had had." "Had had" had had the editor's approval.

There's eleven!
