I saw this story and thought it was some sort of joke. Obviously, it is not. But it is hilarious...and so is the headline:
School Mistakes Huge Burrito for a Weapon
CLOVIS, N.M. - 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.
The Downtrodden Party should make the burrito the motto of their party. Just like the burrito, after you deal with it you get a burning feeling in your gut, and all you wind up with in the end is less money in your pocket and really bad gas.
