School Mistakes Burrito for a Weapon

A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito. Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High. The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.
“I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,” school Principal Diana Russell said.
I’m doing the former.
I’m not so sure a burrito that big isn’t a weapon. I’d hate to ride home on the bus with that kid.
When Is a Burrito a Weapon?
After it's eaten, of course. And if it's two and a half feet long, even more so.
Can’t Help It
I am sorry, I read this story and I cannot help but think of the Taco Bell Chihuahua saying “yeah, drop the Chalupa!”…
“Drop the Burrito and back away, sir.”
Just like the old Taco Bell chalupa ad. Life imitates art.
