The landlord of a pub called The Pig And Whistle asked a sign writer to make a new sign. When he saw it he thought that the words were too close together, so he said to the sign writer “I want more space between Pig and And and And and Whistle”.
Inspired by the story, another landlord decides to name their pub “Pig and And and And and Whistle.” Lo and behold, the sign was cramped… Ther needed more space between Pig and and and and and And and And and and and and and And and And and and and and and Whistle.
Nah, it’s referring to the first space by grouping the first and second words, “Pig” and “And,” and then referring to the second space by grouping the second and third words, “And” and “Whistle.”
But as someone else pointed out it’s the same “and”. The sign has three words on it. Between the words are spaces. How many spaces are there? What on either edge of each space?

You shut your whore mouth.
I think you or they added two extra ands, because the pub isn’t “Pig And And Whistle.”

They said and “And” and “And” and “Whistle” tho, thats 2 extra.
“The Pig And Whistle” asked a sign writer to make a new sign.
I want more space between “Pig” and “And”
and
[more space between] “And” and “Whistle”
Ovahea’s comment as I copy and paste is
So if you remove the bonus ands, it becmes “Pig And And Whistle”.
But as someone else pointed out it’s the same “and”. The sign has three words on it. Between the words are spaces. How many spaces are there? What on either edge of each space?
Okay I concede that it works, albeit it requires a comma, but it also works without the redundant ands
“Pig and Whistle” is what they’re asking for.
Pig
.
And
.
Whistle
But they gave instructions for “Pig And And Whistle” in the comment I replied to.
Pig & And, And & whistle. It’s focusing on the conjunctive. ’And’ is repeated because it is pertinent in both phrases.
More space between pig and and as well as between and and whistle.
Yeah thats a proper sentence but thats not what was written above.
