This is a slightly twisted version of a famous Horrid Example:
"He chased the cat with a broomstick in his pajamas".
Depending on how you read it, it might mean:
The cat was in his pajamas and he chased it with a broomstick.
The cat had the broomstick and was wearing his pajamas.
The cat was being chased by the man who was wearing pajamas and he was holding the broomstick.
The cat was being chased by a man brandishing a broomstick wrapped in his pajamas.
The cat was being chased by the man, clothed in pajamas and for some reason the man had stuck a broomstick in them.
