"Strange"

A lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the
tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, "Here
lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer."

The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would
be confusing, for passersby would tend to think that
three men were buried under the stone.

However he suggested an alternative: He would inscribe,
"Here lies a man who was both honest and a lawyer.

"That way, whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and
read it, they would be certain to remark: "That's
Strange!"
