At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to <br />be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in <br />possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator. <br /><br />At a morning press conference, Attorney General said he believes the <br />man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He is being <br />charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. <br /><br />"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," ! Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions <br />by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of <br />absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to <br />themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a <br />common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every <br />country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides <br />to every triangle'." <br /><br />When asked to comment on the arrest, Senator Kerry said, "If God had <br />wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have <br />given us more fingers and toes."
