In a recent English exam, a question sought the students' knowledge of the past historic tense by asking whether "had" or "had had" was appropriate in a particular sentence.
Jones, where Smith had had "had", had had "had had". "Had Had" had had the examiner's approval.

If only Smith had had asked his dad dad.
Sarah: And she doesn't REALIZE it!!!
Geoff: The Smiths are past historic and knew little of the finer points of grammar. Girlfriend in a comma.
No, much easier (and ruder). But thank you for prompting me to put on 'Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!)
I suppose that Lily is perfect and Oz is imperfect, and that you are tense?
Tom: the bad guys know us so they leave us alone. Never happened in North Kent.
Z: Lily is a gift and lives in the present.
Great photo of the Lilypooch.

Macy: I think you may be referring to yourself!
Or 'ad, 'ad in north Kent speak.
I still miss Dave.

I think we've been had
Scarlet: You missed your opportunity in the haystack. Now it's Macy's turn. Move on.
Nota: Two hads are better than one.
Had I had had any sense, I shouldn't write this!
