In the spirit of the "to drink" thread, here's another word puzzle.
Construct a meaningful, grammatically correct sentence that uses the word "and" five times consecutively.

1. The ESL student spelled
"sand" and "and" and "Andes" correctly. :D

4. I deducted points for the sly "sand" and "Andes" cheat.
But gave them back for cleverness. ;)

2. "Or and and" and "and and therefore" are examples of conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs.

3. Fantastic! I hadn't heard either of these before.
The one I was thinking of was the story of the sign painter of the "George and Dragon" pub, who messed up the spacing between "'George' and 'and' and 'and' and 'Dragon'" on the new sign.

5. It can only be done by making at least two of the and's items in the series. nt
