James, while John had had "had", had had "had had", "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

I think reading it where the stress falls on the words in quotations can also make it slightly easier to understand.

Oh, that example, I totally agree. I was fixated on "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." Strangely, commas don't work in that one.
