[net.misc] Punctuation problem

kragness@stolaf.UUCP (06/16/83)

Here's any interesting problem that I ran across the other day:

	---------------------------------------------------------
	Add punctuation to the following sentence to make it both
	grammatically correct and make sense:

	John while James had had had had had had had had had had
	had a better effect on the teacher.
	---------------------------------------------------------

    It's not as hard as it looks.  

			Good luck

	John, while James had had "had," had had "had had;"  "had had"
    had had a better effect on the teacher.

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

Now try this:

THAT THAT IS IS THAT THAT IS NOT IS
NOT THAT THAT IS IS NOT THAT THAT IS
NOT THAT THAT IS NOT IS NOT THAT THAT IS
