This and that Buffalo sentence prove English is dumb

You only believe this because you haven't seen the alternative. Listen to a reading of The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den.

I know the police one.

Police police police police police police police police

If you know the context of each time the word police is said, you might understand the sentence better.

But yeah, English is stupid.
