At New York's La Guardia 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 set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x"and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined 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," Ashcroft
continued.

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.

"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to
inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the
President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math
instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. There is one principle he is uncertainty of: "Though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."

*shakes head* I got a degree in math to read stuff like this?

%)

It's horrible what's going on today in the world...can't we all just play rap songs and be uneducated?

Lol, a brilliant summation of a multiplicity of tangential operators!

Hmmm... For some reason it was alot funnyer when my algebra 2 teacher told it to us the other day :S

Cadc (SA) (Leader)

It was a joke Spunky %) You probably know.

Behold a world of inverted sight!! This is nuts!!

Yeah, I do know, Racer, I was making a joke myself. %)

I'm joking as well.

"Uh oh! We made a funny!"

I believe a set square is used in archetecture....... %)

Maybe geometry...

Bump

BUMP!!!
