"Smith where Jones had had had had had had had had had had had the
examiner's approval."

Smith, where Jones had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had
the examiner's approval.

I don't know the origin of this one but it was in circulation by 1873.

P.S.  Another unlikely sequence is "to out of up for".  (Small boy to
parent at bed-time - "What did you bring that book I don't like to be
read to out of up for?")
