Sunshine State Sue Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 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 philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'. The Attorney General further added 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.'

jewellsmommy Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I, too, needed a laugh after the day I've had :glare:. I looove math jokes and funnies. My irl friend disowned me after I followed her around Barnes & Noble telling her math jokes from a book I had found there. Having not been taught with a superior math program, like Singapore:tongue_smilie:, she didn't get many of the jokes :lol:. Just kidding :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 :lol:Where did you find this? I've seen it before, years ago. 5/8 of the siblings in my family have degrees in math. My oldest brother sent this out today. I thought I'd share with people who might appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
