That�s 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.
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”
