"Logical Question"
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 is 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.
