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!"
