My solution involves a speaker with a bad stutter.

"James, while John had-had-had-had-had, had-had-had, 'Had had,' had a better effect on the teacher."

That's interesting, I hadn't thought of the possibility of turning some of the "hads" into nouns. I guess in such a scenario, the question becomes in what sense had Josh had Had.


I think you know me well enough to guess where my mind went with that one (I have the sense of humor of a ten year old).

Part 2: Brad, unlike John who had had "had", and James, who had had "had had", had simply had "Brad"; his dad was very mad.
