  Dylan has one that goes "I received your letter yesterday, about the
  time the doorknob broke" (Desolation Row).  Somebody asked him once if
  the doorknob was the subject of the letter, or the letter was received
  at the same time the doorknob broke.  He laughed at the questioner and
  wouldn't answer.
