buffalo buffalo buffalo

I don't know if anyone's ever noticed this before, but it is possible to form entire sentances out of the word "Buffalo" because it is a noun, proper noun (Buffalo, NY) and a verb (meaning, roughly, "to push things around").

So:

"Buffalo buffalo" = "Buffalo push things around."

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo" = "Buffalo from Buffalo (NY) push things around."

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" = "Buffalo from Buffalo push around (other) buffalo."

and...
"Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" = "Buffalo from Buffalow push around (other) buffalow from Buffalow."

I can only shoehorn five buffalo into a sentance...I wonder if anyone else can do better.

If a load of buffalo loaf flows from low buffalo fluff, I'll float to Buffalo.

It kind of reminds me of a puzzle I once heard. It goes:
Punctuate the following so that it forms a legitimate sentence.
John while James had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
The solution:

I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant pluckers son, I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes.

Repeat out loud.
