OT: Teacher Arrested !

[Pete44ru]

A public school math teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, 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, the Attorney General 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 philanderer 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, another Nobel Prize will follow.

Okay, I chuckled quietly at that one. And, in fact, am quite pleased that it wasn't some less-than-news worthy piece about current events, which is what I anticipated and why I didn't bother to look before now.

I could never afford a Pro Tractor, I always had the Amateur kind.
