Terrorist, bent on decimation, apprehended

[Sitaram]

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 set square, 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. 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," Gonzalez said. "They desire 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."

OMG! This is ancient.

You wouldn't happen to have the one about the new EU language or the funny exam answers too, would you?

very funny.
Just think, if this were a joke about the Middle East or Islam you would probably have a fatwa against you and there would be a team of protestors outside your house.

Reminds me of this one:

Three Brazilian Soldiers

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
