Teacher Arrested:
NEW YORK -- 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 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 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," Gonzales said. "They desire 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 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." White House aides told reporters they could not
recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the president.
