Teacher Arrested

[murphy]

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to
be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a
flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, 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 is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons
of math instruction.

Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," a Justice Department spokesman said. "They
desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on
tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like
'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have
determined 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 Bush said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
given us more fingers and toes
