I remembered seeing this about 30 years ago, thought it was really clever but did`nt understand it then!
Ann, while Bob had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
It has to do with grammar. "Had had" is the past participle (I believe) and Bob had [written] the wrong answer on his HW assignment
i cant see how number 4 isnt a name? can you break it down a bit?!

F**K me, you dont want much do you, I might have posted it but I did`nt write it!
I`m just a simple country member!
As I understand it, No4 refers back to Ann, in the first person, after the reference to Bob who had only had "had" Whilst Ann had had
"had had" as opposed to just "had" which Bob had had 
You thick or what!
