Subj:     The Full Story-Weapons Of Math Instruction (S359b, DU)
          From: mbucher on 12/19/2003
          (Also see 'US Arrests Iraqi School Teacher' in MIDDLEEAST
          and 'Oakland Teacher Arrested' in MATH6)

 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 set square, and a calculator.

 Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez believes the man is a member
 of the notorious al-gebra movement.  He is being charged
 with carrying weapons of math instruction. Al-gebra is a
 very fearsome cult, indeed.  They desire average solutions
 by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent
 in a search of absolute value.  They consist of quite
 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 used to say, there
 are 3 sides to every angle, and if God had wanted us to
 have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
 given us more fingers and  toes.  Therefore, I'm extremely
 grateful that our government has given us a sine that it is
 intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are so
 willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard.  These
 statistic bastards love to inflict plane on every sphere of
 influence.  Under the circumferences, it's time we
 differentiated their root, made our point, and drew the line.

 These weapons of math instruction have the potential to
 decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before
 seen unless we become exponents of Higher Power and begin to
 factor-in random facts of vertex.

 As our Great Leader would say, Read my ellipse.  Here is one
 principle he is ncertainty of---though they continue to
 multiply, their days are numbered and the hypotenuse will
 tighten around their necks.

Subj:     Seconds In A Year
          From: LABLaughs.com on 8/30/2003

 The teacher said, "Class, we know there are 60 seconds in a
 minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365
 days in a year. Now, who can tell me how many seconds there
 are in a year?"

 The class looked very baffled by the question, except for
 Billy, who raised his hand and waved it excitedly.

 "Ok, Billy, tell me how many seconds there are in a year,"
 the teacher said.

 "There are twelve seconds in a year," exclaimed Billy.

 "Twelve? Please explain how on earth you came up with that
 number," the teacher said.

 "Well," explained Billy, "there's January second, February
 second, March second..."

Subj:     Proof Barney Is Satanic (S214, DU)
          From: jdillow on 3/8/2001

Given: Barney is a CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR
Prove: Barney is Satanic

The Romans had no letter 'U' and used 'V' instead for printing,
meaning the Roman representation for Barney would be:

CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR

Extracting the Roman numerals, we have:
C V V L D I V

Decimal Equivalents are:
100 5 5 50 500 1 5

Adding those numbers produces: 666

666 is the number of the beast.

Therefore, Barney is Satan.

.
Little Johnny from Yahoo! Images
 A Teacher is talking to her class one day, and decides to
 experiment with abstract thought processes. "Who here can
 draw a picture that describes 100?" she asks.

 Little Johnny runs up to the B/Board, grabs the chalk and
 draws three trees and says..."Tree plus Tree plus Tree!"

 "Very good Johnny, but that only makes nine!" replies
 the Teacher.

 Little Johnny thinks some more and colours the trees
 in a dark brown color and says "Dirty Tree plus Dirty
 Tree plus Dirty Tree!"

 "Very good Johnny, but now you only have 99!" replies
 the Teacher.

 Little Johnny thinks some more and puts a small dot
 under each tree.

 "Whats that supposed to be?" asks the Teacher.

 "Dirty Tree and a Turd plus Dirty Tree and a Turd plus
 Dirty Tree and a Turd."

Subj:     Elementary Class Does Operations

 Mrs. Johnson the elementary school math teacher was having
 children do problems on the blackboard that day.

 "Who would like to do the first problem, addition?"

 No one raised their hand.  She called on Tommy, and with
 some help he finally got it right.

 "Who would like to do the second problem, subtraction?"

 Students hid their faces.  She called on Mark, who got
 the problem but there was some suspicion his girlfriend
 Lisa whispered it to him.

 "Who would like to do the third problem, division?"

 Now a low collective groan could be heard as everyone
 looked at nothing in particular.  The teacher called on
 Suzy, who got it right (she has been known to hold back
 sometimes in front of her friends).

 "Who would like to do the last problem, multiplication?"

 Tim's hand shot up, surprising everyone in the room.  Mrs.
 Johnson finally gained her composure in the stunned silence.
 "Why the enthusiasm, Tim?"

 "God said to go fourth and multiply!"

Little Johnny
from Yahoo! Images

 Little Johnny is attending his math class when teacher asks
 him a question: "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on
 a fence and you shot one with your rifle, how many would be
 left?"

 "None," says Johnny, "because the rest would fly away."

 "Well the answer is four," says teacher, "but I like the way
 you're thinking."

 Little Johnny says, "I have a question for now: If there were
 three women eating ice cream cones entering a shop, one was
 licking her cone, the second was biting the cone, and the
 third was sucking the cone, which one is married?"

 "Well" says teacher, "I guess the one sucking the cone?"

 "Not quite," says little Johnny, "the one with the wedding
 ring on her finger, but I like the way you're thinking."

Subj:     Merits Of A Wife Or A Mistress (S262c)
          (Also See 'Architect, Artist, And Engineer' in ENGINEER1)

 A doctor, a lawyer and a mathematician were discussing the
 relative merits of having a wife or a mistress.  The lawyer
 says: "For sure a mistress is better.  If you have a wife
 and want a divorce, it causes all sorts of legal problems.

 The doctor says: "It's better to have a wife because the
 sense of security lowers your stress and is good for your
 health.

 The mathematician says: " You're both wrong. It's best to
 have both so that when the wife thinks you're with the
 mistress and the mistress thinks you're with your wife ---
 you can do some mathematics.

Subj:     The Number "Seven" (S578c)

 This guy lives near a mental hospital.  Everyday on his way
 to the bus stop, he has to pass along the tall walls of the
 hospital.

 One morning, on his way to work, he heard the psychos behind
 the wall chanting, "Seven! Seven! Seven!"  The guy thought
 to himself, "Crazy nuts!"

 Later that afternoon on the way home, he again passed the
 sanitarium.  And again he heard the loonies counting,
 "Seven! Seven! Seven!"  Now thoroughly intrigued, he went
 around the tall walls to look for somewhere he could peek
 in.  He found a big boulder just beside the fence and he
 climbed it.  And he stuck his head over the wall and looked
 down...

 BAM!!  A loony waiting just behind the other side of the
 wall hit him with a big baseball bat.  Down he went from
 the boulder and fell to the ground unconscious.  And the
 nuts resumed their chanting, "Eight! Eight! Eight!"

Subj:     The Number 43 (like "7" joke, but I prefer the this version)

 A man was jumping up ? down on a manhole cover on a sidewalk
 in town.  Every time he landed he shouted 43. On and on he
 went : "43 43 43 43...."

 A curious passer-by stopped and asked him what he was doing?
 To which the man replied "making money".  The passer was
 sceptical, and said : "what by jumping up and down shouting
 43?" "Yup" replied the man.  The passer by chuckled and left.
 On his way back, he again came across the man jumping on the
 manhole cover.  "43 43 43 43 ...".  Still curious he asked
 the man if he could give it a try, "Nooooo!" replied the man
 "this is my lucky manhole cover, go find your own!"

 The passer-by begged him to let him try, and reluctantly, the
 man let him have his way for 5 bucks.  The passer started
 jumping up and down yelling "43 43 43...".  As he was in mid
 flight, the man swept the manhole cover away.

 The passer by fell down into the darkness.  After which the
 man resumed: "44 44 44 44 44........"

Subj:     The Mathematician, The Engineer, And The Hooker

 A Mathematician and an engineer walk into a square room.
 On the far side of the room is a hooker.  The engineer says
 to the mathematician "Bet you can't get to her if you go
 half the distance to her, then go half the distance of that
 half the distance that you just took, and so on".  The
 mathematician takes out his calculator, does some figuring
 for fifteen minutes, realizes he will never accomplish the
 feet, and starts to walk out the door.  As he reaches the
 door the hooker offers the engineer the same challenge and
 says she will work for free if he wins.  The engineer takes
 out his HP, does some figuring for five minutes, and walks
  to the bathroom.

 He soon comes back with a ruler in his hand. The mathe-
 matician asks the engineer "What are you doing?".  The
 engineer answers "Well at least I can get within working
 distance within the next ten minutes."

Second version
 A mathematician and a physicist agree to a psychological
 experiment.  The mathematician is put in a chair in a large
 empty room and a beautiful naked woman is placed on a bed
 at the other end of the room.

 The psychologist explains, "You are to remain in your chair.
 Every five minutes, I will move your chair to a position
 halfway between its current location and the woman on the
 bed."  The mathematician looks at the psychologist in disgust.
 "What? I'm not going to go through this.  You know I'll never
 reach the bed!"  And he gets up and storms out.  The psycho-
 logist makes a note on his clipboard and ushers the physicist
 in.  He explains the situation, and the physicist's eyes
 light up and he starts drooling.  The psychologist is a bit
 confused.

 "Don't you realize that you'll never reach her?"  The
 physicist smiles and replied, "Of course!  But I'll get
 close enough for all practical purposes!"

Subj:     Knowledge Pills

 A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic
 knowledge in pill form.

 A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and
 asks what kind of knowledge pills are available.  The
 pharmacist says "Here's a pill for English literature."
 The student takes the pill and swallows it and has new know-
 ledge about English literature!

 "What else do you have?" asks the student.

 "Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world
 history," replies the pharmacist.

 The student asks for these, and swallows them and has new
 knowledge about those subjects.

 Then the student asks, "Do you have a pill for math?"

 The pharmacist says "Wait just a moment", and goes back
 into the storeroom and brings back a whopper of a pill and
 plunks it on the counter.

 "I have to take that huge pill for math?" inquires the student.

 The pharmacist replied "Well, you know math always was a
 little hard to swallow."
