Wait, "fun" and "grammar" in the same sentence? 
Seriously though, my students have a lot of fun with grammar, though unintentionally. But I won't poke fun at my students but post some awful sentences I once found on a hard drive of a computer in one of my university's labs.
And I do this with hesitance because my grammar has never been perfect, certainly not on message boards. I like to think I'm above this, though.
One paper talks about seeing people's "face expressions," and another talks about a teacher who evidently effected the student's life in a positive way and he or she says "One effect she had on me was that, whatever you do, best the best you can be." The person adds "Another effect she had on me was that, no matter what dark cloud may come have, there is always a silver lining." Finally, the person explains, "One final effect she had on me was that, no matter how smart you are, you will always need someone's help." But my favorite part is when the person says "The cause of having a teacher like her can have many effects on students. 
I've read more amusing things but I had that sitting in a drawer next to me and could not resist.
