Legal or Logical?

After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"

Professor: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"

Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "

Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"

Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"

Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.

Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.

He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."

    Interesting. The best student of the professor was a perfect lawyer who could produce the fittest answer to the question of which the professor himself did not know the answer. His sort of analytical mind is what a good lawyer requires for arguing the cases in courts.

  • this is not a question,

    and it does not give any riddle

    yet you may have some riddle in it which your last four lines shows it..

    the morale of this looks to me that a student who failed may be due to his involvement in immoral ativities with the wife of his Guru .. which you say was 63 , if very impobable..

    as the retirement age is 58 or 60 or 62

    Morally a Guru is Guru and student has to be respectful which a student was not

    Guru who failed him on the basis of his performance can not accept the foolish chanllenge from the student..

    This can happen only in US and not in India..
