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 three 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.

OMG now that is funny as hell.

I heard that they were developing a weapon of higher math instructions that would produce a fallout of calculous. The geometry of this case is very complex and obtruse. They may need to call in the Eraser.

Hey remember when that joke was originally about Bush? I guess I can call Bush the scholar and still be taken credibly.

 

That kind of makes that joke a little bit funny!

As a youth, I've always praised all the math and geometry teachers should be sat by force on top of pyramids. Now I do know why they all should be.
