"Honest Lawyer" joke

A lawyer named Impos Syble was shopping for a tombstone. After he had made his selection, the stonecutter 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 stonecutter. “In this state, it’s against the law to bury two people in the same grave. However, I could put `here lies an honest lawyer’. ”
“But that won’t let people know who it is! ” protested the lawyer.
“Sure it will, ” retorted the stonecutter. “People will read it and exclaim, “That’s impossible! ”
