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 enominator 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 intenton 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."
 
:lol: that was good superslug. I'll have to show that to my math teacher.
 
Just be sure to do that before you turn them into the Department of Homeland Insecurity...
 
That was unsubtractably witty punning of the highest exponential order!

I wonder when the slider Rulers of you country will compute the sum total of maths-trocities integrated by al-gebra into the equation of State?

Let's differentiate these unsavoury numbers into a closed null set, and give them the 360th degree until they are reduced to zero.
 
I hate to admit that it's a much cleaner joke than I usually post. My catholic school teacher rapped my knuckles quite often with a ruler because I abacussed too much.
 
You mean you were a fraction-us arc-delinquent in classroom circles?
 
Yeah, you could say that. She tried to get me to figure out the delta of a reentry space shuttle once, but I told her I couldn't because NASA did the shuttle. Delta only did airplanes.
 
Brilliant!! This will be the talk of the Math Department at my school!

If they haven't already seen it. I emailed it to physics professor I know and he said he appreciated it, but that he'd already gotten it 53 times.
 
Better 53 than 13, or 69...
 
I always knew math was evil. :lol:
 
Thats right! What did math ever do to help us?
 
Multiplication means frustration
Division's half as bad,
The rule of three perplexes me
And fractions drive me mad.
 
Lame math joke:

The integral of A1 over cabin d cabin is A natural log cabin!

Everyone knows this joke I continued it

A man was walking past a grave yard and he heard one of Beethoven's symphoney's playing backwards.He thought to himself "That's wierd" and kept walking.
The next day the same man walked past the same cemetary and heard another one of Beethoven's symphony's playing backward's. He thought to himself "Now that's REALLY wierd!" and kept going.

THe next day the same man was once again walking past the same cemetary and heard "Ode to Joy" playing backwards. The man said "I can't take this any more!" he walked up to the caretaker and asked, "What is going on around here?!" the caretaker answered, "Oh, that's just Beethoven decomposing."

Well that same man was walking past another cemetary and he heard "x to the negative first power plus c is the natural log of x." He thought to himself "That's wierd" and kept walking.

The next day the he walked past the second cemetary and heard "x squared over two plus c is x." He thought to himself "Now that's REALLY wierd!" and kept going.

The next day he was once again walking past that cemetary and heard "the sine of x plus c is the cosine of x." The man said "I can't take this any more!" he walked up to the caretaker and asked, "What is going on around here?!" the caretaker answered, "Oh, that's just Newton disintegrating."
 
Lmao thats good.
 
lmao
 
Ya, that was fairly good. I will show that to my Math/Calculus Teacher. Thanks!!
