Got You Buffaloed?

I'm back! Having been away for a while in Sudbury, I returned today to my usual routine, which means at least a quick stop here. I brought something to share with you, so you can't say I never give you anything. This is one of those somethings really worth the getting. You can use it at the next staff meet & greet you're invited to. It'll help you impress everyone there, especially if you make sure you go with the explanation down pat so you can supply it on demand.
When that first awkward silence descends and no-one seems to know how to get the party up and running, put on your very best nonchalant face, and leap into the breach. Ask if anyone knows a good example of a classic "garden path" sentence, one which might damn near go beyond human ability to parse structure and meaning. When your enquiry is greeted with blank stares, fill in the void with an insouciant smile and a smooth recitation of the following:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo

Be forewarned. There will be those who will challenge your knowledge, who may even question your very grip on sanity, but if you have followed this link, and prepared aforehand, you can withstand all verbal onslaughts and emerge the hero of the piece.

Please ... you don't have to thank me.
