Strange Guy
One day, a lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on the tombstone, "Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer."
The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, for any passer-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!"
