#ambiguous sentences

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

I fucking hate linguistics.

Some of it is easy, some of it I understand after a few tries and then, there's fucking ambiguous sentences and syntax.

"The cat chased the dog from the yard"...what the fuck? How is that ambiguous?

Well that was a quirky, choppy dream about dildos now wasn't it

I'm very tired and smell like a cute girl I sat on earlier today.

okay I got everything except this stupid ambiguous syntax tree done. I have to draw two syntax trees to diagram the two meanings of the sentence "the dealers will hear the car talk at noon". The first meaning is the dealers are going to hear a talk about cars at noon, the second is the dealers are going to hear a car speak to them at noon. I just don't know how to show this difference through goddamn syntax trees. Those things are the bane of my existence.
