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, the  Attorney General 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'.

When asked to comment on the  arrest, President Obama said, 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math  instruction, he would have given  us more fingers and toes.' White House aides told reporters  they could not recall a more intelligent or profound  statement by the President.

It is believed that the Nobel Prize for  Physics will follow----

Excellent, I really enjoyed that.  Nothing like a bit of math humor to get a geeks day off to a good start!
