I can say "and" 5 times in a row without not making sense

I hired a man to make me a sign saying "He ate and drank, but he mixed up drank and and, and and and ate.

So this one didn't even require a first post to be solved? Interesting how ironic it is when Sora ended his sentence in "the".

This is so fun

Wait wait WAIT! Did you all take this seriously, as in "Can you REALLY end a sentence in any language with the word 'the' "?2009-11-07 23:44:00

Reminds me of the golden oldie:

The primary school english teacher, having returned home from a long day trying to teach 6 year old students about how you NEVER end a sentence with a preposition, decided to take a book about Australia up to read as a bedtime story to her 6 year old daughter. The daughter took one glance at the book, sighed, and said, "Mummy, why did you bring that book that I didn't want to be read to from about Down Under up for?"

It's not spam. It's a joke. I posted this for the funny irony of my question. I was wondering when it will catch on. So to all those who figured it out, congradulations!

Mainly, it's to discuss how many different ways can a sentence end with the word "the".

And yes. The sentence above did end with the word "the". So did the one on the left of his one.

The The? Who's The The?


Anyways, I hope my dog doesn't bark out, "The!"

Death walks around with his scythe. All that can help you now is absinthe.

PS: This would have been a lot easier a few hundred years ago.

Pretty pointless thread if you ask me, sir.
I know you said it's a joke...but I think your sense of humour needs a bit of tweaking :/

lol I was just about to say that

No, I don't actually think you can end a sentence properly with the word 'the', otherwise it wouldn't make much sense...

Ok, spam in a labtop isn't funny or contributive in any way. Ironically, it's spam. You're making fun of yourself

If you fail to find this thread funny or realise what it's about don't comment. This is general chat, not general accuse posts of spam.

Incinerator; I clearly understand the thread thankyou. Infact, it's painfully obvious and a bit simple. Slightly amusing too at first, don't get me wrong. But read the few posts above you... if it carried on like that it's clearly going nowhere interesting. Infact - nowhere at all. I think I've read the same post by different people about 5 times now! Ah well.

So I was reading this thread and hoping for a lock when

Couldn't agree more. Are we done here? The puzzle was solved, and everyone is going off on tangents.

Locked.
