Call me crazy, but I think "Time flies like an arrow" or "Fruit flies like a banana" are more fun.
I love this sentence, because unlike certain other constructed examples of lexical ambiguity [1][2], it doesn't rely so heavily on the somewhat artificial removal of punctuation.

It's also one of my favorite demonstrations of how absurd the English language can be. Another good one is "ghoti"[3].
