lawyer strange

A lawyer named Strange died,and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribeon his tombstone,"Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer."The inscriber insisted that such an inscriptionwould be confusing, for passersby would tend to think thatthree men were buried under the stone.However he suggested an alternative: He wouldinscribe,"Here lies a man who was both honest and a lawyer."That way, whenever anyone walked by the tombstoneand read it, they would be certain to remark:"That's Strange!"
