At 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 setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

It is believed the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. The FBI is charging him with carrying weapons of math instruction.

An unidentified official, without permission to speak said, “Al-gebra is a fearsome cult, 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 it has been determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer, Isosceles used to say, there are three sides to every triangle.”

Fox News personnel commenting on the arrest were acute.

Hannity whined, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction. He would have given us more fingers and toes.”
"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard.

“Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," Glen Beck said, adding, "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

O’Reilly warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scale never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex.”

EIB Rush Limbaugh added, "Read my ellipse.”

This started as a creative, team building event for an engineering some years back. Who would have thought it would still have reverence today?

That was amazing! *LOL* Loved it.

As crazy as it sounds, it is not that far from having a "ring of truth" to it too.
