Strange Lawyer.

A lawyer named Strange died. 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, those passing by would think three men were buried there.

The inscriber suggested an alternative: He inscribed, “Here lies a man who was honest and a lawyer.”

Whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would be certain to remark: “That’s Strange!”
