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 they are. 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 wracks 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 wrack
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 !!!!!!"
