Head-Fi'ers --

I just read this article at Yahoo! News... Oh, my! What a goof!

LOCKDOWN! EVERYBODY GET DOWN! HE HAS A BURRITO!

Mmmmmmmmmmm...thirty inch burrito.

Since it was wrapped in tin foil and a white T-shirt, I could see how the mistake was made.

I am well-aware that the burrito was "concealed" (I cannot even say THAT with a straight face).
But the thirty inches of wide, aluminum foil is a definitely give-away... It screams Taco Bell!

I just hear the Police now: "jalepeno? That is a definite aroma of nuclear armament..."

"Guacamole always means poison... UNLESS it is paired with salsa, THEN it is gun powder..."
"Oh, my LORD! We see lettuce! I repeat: we SEE lettuce! Get the snipers on the rooftops!!!"

Sorry about that! I get carried away when the Police mock themselves inadvertantly!

Since the t-shirt wrapped "suspicious object" was reported to the police by a civilian, they had to take it seriously. Imagine if it actually had been a gun and another Columbine occurred? The police would look much worse saying "we didn't bother responding because we naturally assumed it was a t-shirt wrapped 30" burrito".

Oh my, that burrito sounds delicious. But I wonder how you could make a tortilla that large.

Common sense is severly lacking on both sides

Side A-what was that knucklhead doing with a 30 inch burrito in school if not to startle someone on some level

Side B-whatever happened to a simple "whatcha got there ?" question before calling the gendarmes and causing a ruckus ?


JEEEEEZ ! get a freakin grip !

this is what happens when fear is instilled, there was some tradegys sure but now throught the media etc people are scared of their own shadow, like i mean how on earth does that look liek a gun or a bomb.. i dunno its late im tired and im rambling

I'm surprised a junior high student had enough ingenuity to make such a tasty meal. sadly, people get terrified these days so easily its beyond comical. Not to be sexist but some of the protective soccer mom types can really act like chickens with their heads cut off when a situtation arises.

 

[wrhawk]

So, was the burrito taken in for questioning, or did the kids get to enjoy it as planned?

nah, i simply dont understand why one need to bring a meal that big to school in the first place. seem excessive for a lunch meal for me. dont tell me he's gonna eat all that.

Read the article again. It was a part of an assignment.

 

[bundee1]

He probably dropped it and they called in the bomb squad robot who safely detonated it. THE HORROR, THE HORROR!

 

[PsychoZX]

I almost died laughing when I read this story.

Thanks for the link BANGPOD.

Are you guys kidding???? A 30" burrito filled with that stuff is tantamount to a biohazard weapon after being consumed by some people I know... Must break out the surplus gas masks....
