Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Brings back terrible memories of my freshman year. Up until then I was a wiz at math-then it fell apart 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 slide rule and a calculator. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales believes the individual is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement and is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-Gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed", Gonzales said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute value. They consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like 'x' and 'y', and, although they are frequently referred to as 'unknowns', we know they really belong to a common denominator and are part of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the great Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sidesto 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."
