J. B. Strange, atty at law, died and as he was noted for his honesty, there was great debate how to put those facts on his headstone.
If you put here lies Strange an honest man and an atty, you git the impression there are 3 men in the grave.
Finally a decision was made that the epitath should read, here lies a man who was both honest and a lawyer.
They figured that anyone reading that would automatically say "That's Strange".
