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 set square, a slide rule, and
a calculator.
At a morning press conference, Attorney G eneral 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 G reek philanderer Isosceles used to say, "There
are 3 sides to every triangle."
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If G od had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
given us more fingers and toes."

Iluvafrica: Excellent 8/10. Try this one:
Little Paddy, aged 7 was in school in Dublin learning numbers and addition. Teacher asked him 'Three plus three, Paddy'. Young Paddy began counting on his fingers, one, two three, (then the other hand) four, five, six'. 'Very good' said the teacher, 'now try without using your fingers. Two plus two'. Paddy stuttered, but could not help it, he of course used his fingers and quickly said 'one, two, three four'. 'Yes' said the teacher 'but I said not to use your fingers. Put your hands in your trousers pockets and tell me five plus five'. Paddy did what he was told and began 'One, two, three, four, five, (then a pause) six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven'........................
