Lawyer's Tombstone

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 passersby 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!
