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 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
