"and" is usually left out in American English when reading numbers.This is not my experience (or my habit) at all, Kooyeen. Where did you get this information?
And I might add the lyrics from South Pacific's 'Honey Bun':
My doll is as dainty as a sparrow,
Her figure is somethin' to applaud.

A hundred and one pounds of fun,
That's my little honey bun!
Get a load of honey bun tonight.
