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 passers-by 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!"
