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 passers-by would tend to think that three men were buried under the stone. However he suggested an alternative: ‘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.”
