Mr. Strange!

A lawyer named Mr. Strange was shopping for a tombstone. After he had made his selection, the stone cutter asked him what inscription he would like on it. "Here lies an honest man and a lawyer," responded the lawyer. "Sorry, but I can't do that," replied the stone cutter. "In this state, it's against the law to bury two people in the same grave."

Mr. Strange was not amused by the stone cutter's attempt at humor and asked if he had another suggestion. The stone cutter said, "I could write, 'Here lies an honest lawyer'." The lawyer protested, "But that won't tell people who it was." "It most certainly will," retorted the stone cutter. "People will read, 'Here lies an honest lawyer' and exclaim, 'That's Strange!"
