Not a joke as such, but for the English geeks, explain:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Which is a gramtically correct sentance.

The English geeks won't get it. You need a Chomsky American for that to be gramatically correct.

It's wrong, anyway. This page purports to explain it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffa...

Apparently it equates to (with different words) something like:

"Porsche lovers Porsche lovers bully bully Porsche lovers"

Which still doesn't make sense unless you add at least one extra word:

"Porsche lovers whom Porsche lovers bully bully Porsche lovers"

(...and preferably another extra word and some punctuation, though this is just for clarity and is not essential:

"Porsche lovers whom Porsche lovers bully, themselves bully Porsche lovers")

"Porsche lovers Porsche lovers bully..." is not correct, whatever the joker who made it up says, for the simple reason that it doesn't make sense. Without the "whom" it doesn't work.

fat girls skinny boys bully bully fat boys

you can add a 'whom' or a comma later if you what, but it's still understandable

All perfectly correct English:

The mouse the cat the dog chased caught died.

Bricks bricks bricks break break break.

Peter, where Paul had had had had had had had had had the approval of the teacher.

[Mr Will]

Not a joke, but in a similar vein, there is a sentence which is infinitely extensible:

Fox and Hounds

There are spaces between fox and and and and and hounds.

There are now spaces between fox and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and hounds.

And so on...
