Math teacher arrested at JFK.
At New York's Kennedy 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.
At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said he
believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. The FBI
is charging him with carrying weapons of math instruction.
Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Gonzalez said. "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 we have 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 3 sides to every triangle'."
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
given us more fingers and toes".

I always knew my math teacher was a sly looking bastard! Now I know why!

I still strongly believe whoever the idiot that decided to teach Algebra were they alive to day should have to spend many years in torture.

I think algebra is some of the most ridicolious, stupidest crap known to man.
Even friends I have who are successful and have made theirselves financially independent think the same.

I think I will drive down to X store and buy some Y food and then put some Z gas in my R car. Then my R car runs like crap because I tried to put diesel in a gas engine, and it just doesnt work when you dont have a common denominator.
So I thought I would go back to the inequalities of the linear equations of the factoring, and divide it by the polynomials and multiply it by the system of linear equations, multiply it by 67, subtract x and divide x by z and add 6.
Something like that.
Give me a break. What a croc of shit.

Sorry for my rant.

Please rant on! I couldn't agree more!

I'll be 76 in a few months. Still, the memory lingers of how I failed elementary algebra in freshman year of high school. I had to repeat in summer school (and mercifully was passed by my teacher). My mother considered that I had brought unheard of disgrace on the family. ( BTW, my father, grandfather and several uncles were civil engineers. Who said proficiency in math was hereditary?)

Jarrod.

Love it mate... Your rant is better then the joke
