I came across this wonderful sentence on Wickapedia:
THE buffalo FROM Buffalo WHO ARE buffaloed BY buffalo FROM Buffalo ALSO buffalo THE buffalo FROM Buffalo.
And shortened, and still grammatically correct:
Buffalo buffalo buffaloed by Buffalo buffalo, also buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Seriously? I am so swimming in legal words right now. They make absolutely no sense. I guess that's how lawyers keep their jobs secure.
Well, if you break it down, you have some buffalo living in Buffalo (New York) who were buffaloing ( i.e. fooling) the other buffalo in Buffalo, and they in turn also were fooling buffaloes in Buffalo!
Wonderful! Yes, it all works! On an earthier note this reminds me of something one of my school friends said after coming out of an A level chemistry exam circa 1980. It consisted almost entirely of a certain four letter word used as an exclamation, an adjective and a noun!
