well the first sentence means that
THE FIRST OF THE FIRST IS THE FIRST THE FIRST OF THE LAST IS THE LAST IN BETWEEN O,O

and the second means that you SAW A SAW IN A SAW SUCH A SAW you NEVER SAW

"I SAW A SAW IN A SAW SUCH A SAW I NEVER SAW"

I observed a cutting device in (either another cutting device or a trite old saying) and I had never seen a cutting device quite like it.

THE FIRST OF THE FIRST IS THE FIRST THE FIRST OF THE LAST IS THE LAST IN BETWEEN O,O
I'll have to get back to you on this one, it's a punctuation problem.

Maybe this

THE FIRST “OF THE FIRST” IS THE FIRST; THE FIRST “OF THE LAST” IS THE LAST IN BETWEEN O,O?

The first letter in "of the first" is "O", so is the first letter in "Of the last" qhich gives you an "O" and another "O".

Is the phrase "and and and and and and" or "and and and and and and please" ?

Since "and and and and and and" and "and and and and and and please" are very different.
Please, "and and and and and and" and "and and and and and and please" may seem similar.
And,please,"please and and and and and and" and "and and and and and and please" are different
since one is "please" and "and" and "and" and "please" is the other.

"Help me, please, somebody help me!"

At last!

The publican of my local pub, the "Shepard and Dog", ordered a new sign. But he was unhappy with the spacing of the words on the sign, and he wrote a letter to explain to the sign writer that:

"There's too much space between Shepard and "And" and "And" and Dog"

You will notice that this is one less AND that I had in my question. That's OK, because my mate, who was in the pub at the time, saw the letter than the publican had written to the sign writer and thought the spacing algorithm of his Word Processor was faulty wrote him a note saying:

"There's too much space between 'Shepard and "and" and "and" and "And" and "And" and "and" and "and" and "And" and "And" and "and" and "and" and Dog'"

And his pedantic mate, who had had a few glasses of beer, said: "There's too mush space ..."

If I had a few beers I could've gotten, too!

Claven's Buffalo Beer Theory
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.

"Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine, which is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

The first letter in "of the first" is "O", so is the first letter in "Of the last" qhich gives you an "O" and another "O".
