A lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the tomb-
stone 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 might 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, when-
ever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would
be certain to remark: “That’s Strange!”
