Humor With a Touch of Reality

Rorwared to me by a friend.  Merle

 

A public school 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, 
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 philosopher 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 another Nobel Prize will follow.
