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!"
