Legal but Not Logical
After failing an exam, a university student challenged his lecturer. "I'd like to ask you a question. If you answer it correctly, I'll accept my grade. If you can't, I want an A."
"What's the question?"
"What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal?"
The professor thought and thought but could not find an answer, so he changed the student's grade to an A as agreed. Later he summoned the best student in the class and asked the same question.
The student answered immediately. "Sir, you're sixty-three and married to a nineteen-year-old woman. That's legal but not logical. Your wife has a twenty-five-year-old lover. That's logical but not legal. And you've just given your wife's lover an A when he should have failed. That's neither legal nor logical."
