Subject: Teacher arrested ...

[wep363]

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 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."

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."
