Your tax dollars at work: School Mistakes Huge Burrito for a Weapon

[BigBearJohn]

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.

At the very least, hazmat should be involved

8. Not a burrito = the suffix "ito" means little

That's a Burron - emphasis on the last syllable - pronounced Burr-OWN!

Damn, after eating all that Little Happy José could blow up the bus on the way home.
