Subject: Math teacher detained by government

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW !  First the guns, then our freedom !!

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  protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a

calculator. At a morning press  conference, Attorney General Eric

Holder said he believes the man is 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', the Attorney General  said. 'They

derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off  on

tangents in search of absolute values.' They use secret code names

like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns" but we have

determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of

medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher

Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every  triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama  said, "If God

had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction,  he would

have given us more fingers and toes." White House aides told reporters

they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement  by the

President. It is believed that another Nobel Prize will  follow.
