Another little dump more or less related to linguistics, etymology, puns, grammar, and idioms.
Today, a very anglocentric one, celebrating the Frankensteins monster of languages.

Lesson learned: never walk away in the middle of folding towels. Charlie loves terrycloth.
Ms. Charlotta: "So considerate to lay out this luxurious fabric for me."
Me: That towel was clean!
Ms. Charlotta: "I would certainly hope so. It would be grounds for an animal abuse prosecution if you gave me a dirty towel to lie on."

I've seen the Buffalo sentence before. That is real. I believe six in a row is also a version, but I couldn't find that one.

#15 i know the answer reads, “In space, no one can hear you scream.” Does the first sentence have a unique way of reading it or is it just the set up for the joke?

It had turned out that what i had had had had no effect on the fact that that fact had had an effect. Wait, is it "affect"?
LtGenObvious
You are correct in your use of 'effect'.
In most cases, 'affect' is a verb, and 'effect' is a noun. Although there are cases when 'affect' is a noun and when 'effect' is a verb, they're much rarer. See https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/affect-vs-effect-usage-difference for details.

There you go, giving me another headache.
Seems correct. When it affects (verb) something, it has an effect (noun).
