A young Law student, having failed his Law exam,
goes up to his crusty old professor, who is
renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind.
Student: "Sir, do you really understand
everything about this subject?"
Professor: "Actually, I probably do. Otherwise I
wouldn't be a professor, would I?"
Student: "OK. So I'd like to ask you a question.
If you can give me the correct answer, I will
accept my marks as it is. If you can't give me
the correct answer, however, you'll have to give
me an "A".
Professor: "Hmmmm, alright. So what's the
question?"
Student: "What is legal but not logical, logical
but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? "
The professor rakes up his famous brain, but just
can't crack the answer. Finally he gives up and
changes the student's failing mark into an "A" as
agreed, and the student goes away, very pleased.
The professor continues to rake up his brain over
the question all afternoon, but still can't get
the answer. So finally he calls in a group of his
brightest students and tells them he has a
really, really tough question to answer: "What is
legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and
neither logical nor legal? "
To the professor's surprise (and embarrassment) ,
all the students immediately raise their hands.
"All right" says the professor and asks his
favourite student to answer
"It's quite easy, sir" says the student "You see,
you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old
woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife
has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but
not legal. And your wife's lover failed his exam
but you've just given him an "A", which is neither legal, nor logical !!!!!!"
