orangerfulShe sent me this. Well, actually my grandma sent it to her first, so that makes them both silly. And I was amused, so I guess I've joined the ranks of the silly as well.
Start Silliness Now:
At New York 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.
Attorney General John Ashcroft believes the man is a member of the
notorious Al-Gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons
of math instruction. "Al-Gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed",
Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and
sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute value. They
consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like "x" and "y", and,
although these individuals are frequently referred to as "unknowns",
we know they really belong to a common denominator and are part
of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the
great Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 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."
