More people have been to Berlin than I have

Not a mixed idiom or a Malaphor, but an Escher Sentence.

Spotted by @Glibkid, in a Twitter thread from @AgnesCallard featuring @fermatslibrary.

An Escher sentence is one that initially seems acceptable, but upon further reflection has no well-formed meaning. e.g. “More people have been to Berlin than I have”.
