<DIV>Subject: Teachers beware...they are on to you! ;-)<BR><BR>At New York's
Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to <BR>be a public school
teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while <BR>in possession of a
protractor, a T-square, a slide rule, and a calculator.<BR><BR>At a
morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft said he<BR>believes the
man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He is<BR>being charged by
the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction <BR>"Al-gebra is a fearsome
cult,", Ashcroft said. "They desire average <BR>solutions by means and extremes,
and sometimes go off on tangents in a <BR>search of absolute value.<BR><BR>They
use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as<BR>"unknowns",
but we have determined they belong to a common denominator <BR>of the axis of
medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the Greek <BR>philanderer
Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," <BR>Ashcroft
declared.<BR><BR>When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If
God had<BR>wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
<BR>given us more fingers and toes. "I am gratified that our government has
<BR>given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs
<BR>who are willing to dis-integrate us with calculus disregard. Murky
<BR>statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the
<BR>President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate
<BR>their root, make our point, and draw the line."<BR><BR>President Bush
warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the<BR>potential to
decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before <BR>seen unless we
become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in <BR>random facts of
vertex."<BR><BR>Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say,
read my<BR>ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they
<BR>continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens
<BR>around their necks.<BR></DIV>
