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 mark as it is If you can t give me the correct answer however you ll have to give me an A Professor: Hmmmm all right 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
