Also, while not a homophone, the sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is grammatically correct.

"Buffalo buffalo": Buffalo from Buffalo, N.Y.; the usage is like "chicken soup" or "arms race"
"Buffalo buffalo buffalo": this contains a reduced relative clause, allowing one to remove the pronoun "that." The third "buffalo" is an alternate definition, a synonym to the more common "bully."
"Buffalo buffalo": Same as the first one.

So altogether, the sentence roughly means: "Buffalo from Buffalo, N.Y. that [other] buffaloes from Buffalo N.Y. bully, are bullied by [other] Buffalo buffaloes."

Or this one: "Rose rose to put rose roes on her rows of roses." (Rose got out of bed to put rose-colored salmon eggs on her rose garden).

"He jarred ajar a jar of Jar-Jar's jarred charred chard and char giardiniera."
