Unbelieveable!
A mat named Unbelieveable died, and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, "Here lies Unbelieveable, an intelligent man, and a mat."
The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, for passersby 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 intelligent and a mat." That way, whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would be certain to remark:
"That's Unbelieveable!"
Inspiring Success
"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out
how far one can go."
- T. S. Eliot
