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”.

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

Space between pig and and, and space between and and whistle
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes but they have two too many, go count it.

It is indeed a very convoluted way of making the requests. I would say more space between each word.

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.”

They said and “And” and “And” and “Whistle” tho, thats 2 extra.

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.
