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 Alberto Gonzales 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, "Gonzales 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." He added, "As the
Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are three 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."
