Teacher
arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport
A 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. |
