Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

What it means
Our interpretation.
This wordplay turns on the double role of familiar words. In the first sentence, time is said to move swiftly, like an arrow; in the second, 'fruit flies' becomes insects with a taste for bananas. The humour comes from grammar suddenly flipping under the reader's feet.
