At Los Angeles' International airport today an individual, later discovered to be a public school mathematics teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a square, a slide rule, and a calculator.

U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft immediately issued a statement confirming that he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. The man has been detained and 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 an absolute value. They consist of quiet shadowy figures, with names like "x" and "y", and, although they 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 said," Ashcroft continued, "there are three sides to every triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President George W Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."
