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!"
