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 setsquare, a slide rule,
and a calculator. At a morning press conference,
Attorney general John Ashcroft 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,", Ashcroft 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.
"As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there
are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared. 

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. "I am gratified that our government has
given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us
from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate
us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love
to inflict 
plane on every sphere of influence," the President
said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must
differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the
line." President Bush warned, "These weapons of math
instruction have the potential to decimal everything
in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we
become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor
in random facts of vertex." 

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader
would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he
is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply,
their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens
around their necks."
