You can use that as a buffalo sentence: police police police police police police police.

These are fun. "Fish" works too. Did you know that fish buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo fish? I think that any sentence of the form "(buffalo|fish)+" is valid in at least one way.

Fish isn't an adjective, is it? How would you interpret "Fish fish fish fish" as a sentence?

(Fish fish fish) fish. Fish which are fished by other fish themselves fish something unspecified.

Thanks!
