    Peter had "had" while Henry had "had had"."Had had" had had the teachers approval.

    Peter had "had" while Henry had "had had"; "had had" had had the teacher's approval...

    You need the elipses at the end because the past perfect can't stand alone; something changed the teacher's mind.

    Wait, or:

    Peter had had "while"; Henry had had "had had"; "had had" had the teacher's approval.

    In this case, Peter's and Henry's "having" precedes the teacher's approval.

    No, but do you know the 'Pig And Whistle' one?

    And new pub sign was needed to replace the weather-worn one.

    The sign-writer came and did the job, but the landlord said, 'Naw mate. You need to 'ave more spaces between the words, Pig and and and and and and and and and and Whistle.'

    or - Spaces between the 'Pig and (the) And, and (the) And and (the) And, and (the) And and (the) And (the) Whistle.'

    You have only 7 Had's

    I've got 9 And's

    Sash ...who's now knackered and going to bed.
