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
grade as it
is. However,
if you cannot
give me the
correct
answer, 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
favorite
student to
answer.
