Weapons of Math Instruction

A New York teacher was arrested when he tried to get on a plane with a ruler, protractor, set square, slide rule and calculator.

The authorities believed he was a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He has been charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a problem to us" the Attorney-General said.
"They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values".

President Bush commented: "if God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes".
