That is not syntactic ambiguity, which must be resolved before you can 
interpret it.

The more classic Lojban examples of such ambiguity are of the "Pretty 
Little Girls School House Door Knob" type, where the grouping of 
modifiers/modificands isn't determinable (or if it is determinable, 
depends on particular choices among polysemous meanings, where if a 
different less-common meaning were chosen, the phrase might parse 
differently).

The other English examples often used are "Time flies like an arrow; 
fruit flies like a banana." and "I saw that gasoline can explode."
