Legal & 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 32 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical.



Your wife has a 22 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 .."

Where to tap?

Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed?

The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster.

He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life.

He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
"What...?" the owners exclaimed. " He hardly did anything..!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer....$ 2.00
Knowing where to.......... $ 9998.00
Total..................................$ 10000.00
