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!
