Here in the UK, I've never seen buffalo used as a verb, so the buffalo sentence has never seemed all that clever to me.
I've always preferred the publican's complaint - "This sign is painted wrong, you missed the spaces between Dog and and, and and and Duck" - because it doesn't rely on unmarked compounds like police-police or Buffalo-buffalo no-one uses outside linguistic puzzles :)
