Strange_英语司法笑话

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.'"
