Joke for the Day

I just got this from my friend Katherine and couldn't resist sharing it with you:


New York---A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a slide rule, a protractor, a set square, and a calculator.

At his morning press conference Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said he believes the man in 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," Gonzalez said. "They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of an 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. We are continuing the investigation because as the 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".
