I like the following two ambiguous sentences: Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. and: Police police police police police. There are multiple ways to parse these sentences. Tom Dan Asimov writes:
There are also the interesting sentences
"I love her cooking"
and
"Colorless green ideas sleep furiously"
among others.
