So there is a little hub-bub over the the Buffalo sentence which I have never liked.
I prefer Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish, because not only is it grammatically correct but true.
Some sticklers – read a-holes – want to say that fish is actually an intransitive verb, but not where I come from. If my uncle tells people he’s gone to fish trout everyone knows what that means.
So Fish who are Fished For by other Fish, Fish for yet other Fish.
Moreover, the Law of the Ocean is that the sentence has infinite regress.
So the fish who fish for fish that are fished for by other fish -you know those guys – well they fish for fish that are fished for by fish who fish still other fish.
or as I like to say
Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish
And well, we’ll stop there
