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!”
