You need to put more space between 'fish' and 'and', and 'and' and 'chips'

I found this on Reddit. It is supposed to illustrate that a sentence with 5 'and's in a row can be sensible.

A man orders a sign "Fish and chips" for his restaurant. When the sign arrives, it says "Fishandchips". The man tells the company he ordered the sign from "You need to put more space between 'fish' and 'and', and 'and' and 'chips'."

The original post did not contain the red comma; I added it myself. Do you think it's necessary?

No. It's optional.

 

[Glizdka]

Far too many.

Holl..and. . . and.. . And..erson.

I like the way you've put so much space between Holl and and and and and and and and and And and And and erson.

I like the way you've put so much space between Holl and and, and and and and, and and and And, and And and erson.

This convinces me that I was right about adding that comma... it's painful to read without it.

You can add the commas but they're not necessary.

Right. I was going for maximum pain.
