      Wait is that second line “Fruit … flies like a banana” (parabola), or"Fruit flies … like a banana" (insects)?

        That’s basically the joke, these sentences look very similar but the structure is very different. And you can even force both reading on both sentences. There isn’t much I know about time flies but apparently they prefer arrows.
