"time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like banana"

(1) Translate this phrase into Swedish
(2a) How would you characterize the context of the first 'like'
   above? Of the second one?
(2b) Write a short Emacs Lisp program which can distinguish
   between both
(3) Do the same as (2a) and (2b) for both terms 'flies'

Enjoy ;-P

(Human languages are... interesting)
