Implements of Math Destruction

[gypsygrace]

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 square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

The Attorney General believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed", the Attorney General said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute value. They consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like "x" and "y", and, although they are frequently referred to as "unknowns", we know they really belong to a common denominator and are part of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

"As the great 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."

Yes! I am aware who the President is and it is not Bush

Just hang in there - we STILL have high hopes of digging President Reagan up and getting a working version of VooDoo 7.02.1 patched to match his phylogenetic development properly so he's got that old Ronald McDonald MoJo back. If Nancy's astrologist would JUST GIVE US A SIGN!!

And since Algebra was my arch Nemesis in high school I enjoy the joke more than most. :) :D
