I found one the other day, on first look this doesn't make sense:

alice where lucy had had had had had had had had had had got the higher mark.

However, it does make grammatical sense when seen like this:

alice where lucy had had 'had', had had 'had had'; 'had had' had got the higher mark.

Anyone got any others similar?

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous,kind and thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy-will you let me be yours?
Jill.
Compare that to the next paragraph!

A sentence with the following:

See if you can figure it out and I'll let you know.

I said about that that that 'that' that that man wrote was wrong.

I think I win! Fewer punctuation marks needed!

How about:

"It'll be bound to be being bound"

As in, the bookbinders are certain to be getting round to binding that book you gave them.

"Fish and Chips" sign. The owner wants a bigger space between 'fish' and 'and' and 'and' and 'chips', to the annoyance of the signwriter.

and and and and and
