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!"
