At least they had an alert bystander - could have been ....
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  It wasn’t a gun that caused police to lock down Marshall Junior High School in Clovis. It was a burrito.
 
 
Police locked the school down after a citizen saw a student walking into school with a long, skinny object wrapped in a white cloth. He thought it was a gun and called police.
 
 
Officers searched for the student while the school was on lockdown. But the student came forward first, admitting he had what they were looking for – a two-and-a-half-foot-long burrito.
 
 
The student had taken the burrito, wrapped in foil and a white cloth, to present in a culinary career class. It was loaded – with meat and beans.
 
 
Police called the incident a good exercise for all of the officers who responded to the school.
 
 
One observer joked that with the right combination of ingredients, the burrito could have been a deadly weapon. |

				Depending on what kind of beans, this could have had a detrimental effect on the environment by contributing to global warming.        High gas quotient legumes are a terrible thing.        New Zealand is trying to curb animal flatulence.  Just imagine what a 2 1/2 ft burrito could do.  WOW.  BTW - Did anyone get the recipe??        _________________ 8th Army Korea 68-69 |
