Can you repeat 'had' for eleven times, and yet be grammatically correct?

I remember being shown that in my linguistics class.

There's also this one:

'Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before "Fish", and between "Fish" and "and", and "and" and "And", and "And" and "and", and "and" and "And", and "And" and "and", and "and" and "Chips", as well as after "Chips"?'

@SW-User Yes. This also appeared in the same article of Readers Digest.
