A public school teacher was arrested today at O R Tambo 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 Deputy President 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 Metro Police with carrying weapons of math instruction.
‘Al-Gebra is a problem for us’, the Deputy Prez 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 co-ordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are three sides to every triangle’.
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Zuma would not comment, but Joeliehaas Malenema said, ‘If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.’ Luthuli House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by Joeliehaas. It is believed that another Nobel Prize for Woodwork will follow.
Yours Aye,
Mary
