That's my first thought, but my brain keeps trying to inject one immediately following "Surely." No idea why.

Knowing there should be a comma in the sentence, is half the battle. Knowing why... is the other half.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity.
