Grammar Puzzle
My hubby sent me this puzzle. I don't know where he got it. As much as I love grammar, I didn't have the mental wherewithal during my spring break (this week) to pluck away at it. Any takers?
I'll show the answer tomorrow.
The email came in like this:
Care for some language? Sitting in an airport the other day, my brilliant
friend Ted Cruz, solicitor general of Texas, gave me this little puzzle,
which I failed to solve. The following is a sentence, given without
punctuation — the trick is to punctuate it:
Jane while John had had had had had had had had had had had the teacher's
approval.

For starters, remove a few of those "hads" :0
But there is puncuation in it already. ;)
Do we get to take out some hads?
If so, here's my guess:
Jane, while John had, had the teacher's approval.
ARe you going to seriously leave us hanging?
