My teacher friends will love this one!!!!
Levity, anyone?.....
(and particularly, anyone in possession of a slide rule (or even knows what one
is) guaranteed to be subversive and clearly up to no good!)
TEACHER ARRESTED IN NEW YORK - A public school teacher was arrested today at
JFK 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, Attorney General Eric Holder 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 President Obama - It is believed that another Nobel
Prize will follow---
