Yes ...
When I have conversations with non-linguists who claim that English
"doesn't have any grammar" or that "English grammar is simple", I
like to give them the example of the two phrases "sick enough sheep"
and "enough sick sheep".
Then there's always mass vs. count nouns to confuse them further.
Of course it depends on how many beers we've had before the topic
comes up.
