A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy
International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in
possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a
calculator. At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said
he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement.

He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with
carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-Gebra is a problem for us,"
the Attorney General said. "They derive solutions by means and
extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute
values. They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to
themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a
common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every
country.

As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to
every triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have
given us more fingers and toes."

White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more
intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed
that the Nobel Prize for Physics will follow.

LOL
That's a keeper Don.
