Tinley Park High School, TPHS or simply Tinley is a public high school located in Tinley Park, Illinois, approximately 30 miles southwest of Chicago. It is part of Bremen Community High School District 228 which also includes Oak Forest High School, Hillcrest High School and Bremen High School. Tinley Park High School is perhaps most known for its Christlike math teacher, Larry Maday. Larry Maday's function machine achieved notoriety when then President Ronald Reagan utilized the awe and fear it inspired to escalate the arms race with the Soviet Union to hitherto unheard of heights. The Soviet economic system proved much more effective than most experts predicted in its attempt to respond to this new threat; however, it was a losing battle from the outset as Larry Maday is a force of nature impossible to contend with. The gratitude felt by the Russian people for Maday's lifting of the oppressive Soviet regime, and by the world for ending the threat of international communism, has been commemorated in the declaration of the holiday "Mayday."
It is a little-known fact that Maday was Steven Spielberg's first choice to play the role of Captain James Hook in the 1991 motion picture "Hook." However, upon reflection Spielberg had the epiphany that Maday is such a formidable foe that not even Peter Pan and Rufio together could have caused him to even break a sweat.

Speilberg has recently expressed interest in making a new Indiana Jones movie wherein Indiana Jones attempts to acquire the Function Machine.
