Punctuation II Correction/Variation

With regards to this problem...
 
This is a problem that my father posed for me in a different light, he asked me how many times the one english word could be repeated and still make a legible paragraph...
 
the explaination being thus:
 
Consider the following two sentances by two students:
 
Sam's said "I had a great night at the party."
 
Tom's said "I had had a great night at the party."
 
The teacher is correcting the statements and decrees;
 
Tom, where Sam had had "had", had had "had had". "had had" had had the teachers approval.
 
Maybe this may make some more sense now... Then again maybe not...
 
Cheers, Sam
